I would say vacation mode should have less (or no) notifications, and maybe a special sort of status icon on the profile. That way other people will know too. For example, if user a wants to reach user b for a chat or to ask a question, but user b doesn’t respond in a week or two, user a could see it as rude or discouraging in some cases; where if user b has a “I’m on vacation” icon on their profile, user a will understand more easily that b simply isn’t around for a while.
