I know you cite burnout but maybe take the time to develop one or more side business of your own and try to make them profitable enough so that year off becomes permanent. It's different when you do the job for yourself rather than an employer. You set the pace, stress, at least for me, was non existence because I didn't I herit it from others around me. I took 7 months off after 7 years in a startup I built. And during that time I built a new business and redone an old one. They are not profitable enough yet but I can see them becoming so. The hardest part is to find a niche to fit in but you can do it by looking back and finding ignored pain points you think people would pay a small amount to have removed if given the option. This will also help you develop new skills. Maybe reignite some passion for coding.
