A while ago I looked into experiences of burnout for knowledge workers during actual wars (e.g. spies, code breakers, bletchley park) and mostly came away thinking that I need to look at it properly. IIRC there was a great sense of purpose but also lots of stress (but the stress didn’t have the side-effects we usually see with non-war stress).
