Also to avoid work burnout, have you tried taking micro-breaks throughout the day?

I starting incorporating some breaks yeah. I have a lot of workout equipment at home so I try to take a 5 minute break every hour and do some movement/stretching/etc. It definitely helps to relax a little and get the blood flowing.
But unfortunately the 24/7 thing is kind of a culture that's developed on the program I'm on. Habits can be hard to break I guess. As an example, I've been out for the last 3 weeks due to shoulder surgery, and despite having my out of office message up saying I'm out on PTI (paid time off for illness), people have still been calling/texting/emailing/messaging/etc non-stop. I've just been ignoring them though
