Was in an extremely similar situation a few years ago and I kept asking the same question but continuing to burn myself out while I considered what to do.
Finally I just snapped and was unable to work or really communicate with anyone. I stopped showing up and felt horrible for my totally unprofessional exit. I had been barely sleeping and while sure the money was amazing I had no time to spend it.
In hindsight I should have worked on my communication skills and rapidly tapered down my efforts to a sane place. But I waited until I was just broken and had to bail.
However, it was in the end a much much needed rest. I took 4 months off work, got outside a ton, lost a bunch of weight, got my personal life and friendships recalibrated and jobs and work started showing up as soon as I was ready to work again.
Since then I have made healthier habits, and people actually respect me the same amount or more for having those habits. I also have learned tricks to still get an amazing amount of stuff done without burning out, which is largely communication, diet, exercise and sleep, all things I used to be awful at.
Take the break, it will be worth it!
Edit: and with 9 years of experience you already know how to learn, don't make the focus just more technology, at least make it a partial computer break.
