It isn’t clear from this thread or your comment history on why you feel burnt out. All I can gather is:

* you don’t like your job

* you don’t want to be an employee

* you are a web developer technologist and open to continue working with those skills

Perhaps you could consider inventing a new technology/service for an existing business problem. This is the interest I am pursuing but I lack the business acumen to jump from software creation to market penetration.

Hmm perhaps it isn't in my comments... thought I had talked about it with this account. I was doing 60 to 80 hour work weeks until the last few months which turned into 100 hour work weeks (3am start time, phased sleep, working weekends). This was all for a covid19 start up.

Perhaps you should use your experience to shift focus from writing/managing code to something completely different that leverages that experience: product management, marketing, sales and user engagement, or even something like CEO or COO.

If you don’t want to be an employee then you need to build a team.

Why don't you look for a job that is less stressful, perhaps at a more established company? You probably would have to work at a B-level company with a lower salary, but it might worth it for your sanity.
