I read allot of NTSB reports, you see allot of ATP rated pilots who "know
the area" and cancel IFR only to end up in the NTSB report for crashing.

Well then, it's a good thing he's not considering doing that, because
he'd certainly crash.

the SAFE thing to do is to call center/ATC and tell them visibility just
went below VFR minimums and you would like to know if you can get a
instrument clearance from them.

Well then, it's a good thing he's asking about doing that!
