It’s not unprofessional at all; at worst, it’s discourteous, because notice of departure has zero to do with your professional conduct, it’s a courtesy. You can professionally quit on the spot, look:
“Due to a change of personal circumstances, I will be resigning immediately, effective at the end of the day. I will work with you to make this transition as smooth as possible within that timeframe, but it is not negotiable.”
I can understand going either way on that because they’re semantically similar. However, I personally draw a distinction here because I’d much more readily accept being considered discourteous at work than unprofessional.

Yeah, I think I accidentally confused the two words. You’re right.
That quote you posted would actually be fine, so you’re right.
I think discourteous and unprofessional is a difference without distinction here though.
