Wow, what a great article, congratulations! Reading the article I was thinking about an additional issue.
I have seen that in some cases, some developers try to build their personal brand by exposing themselves on Twitter, Facebook or a personal website. This all works on numbers of likes, views, traffic, etc. Those numbers can be really influential in our lives and throw us faster into the symptoms you mention.
For example if you have high view/likes numbers for weeks or a tweet is doing really well, etc. and suddenly it goes down, if you are worried about those numbers your brain will send less dopamine and you will experience symptoms very similar to the ones you explain, for example your job, your personal project or whatever you are working on will seem less important in that situation with less dopamine.
So the point I would add is to watch your social exposure and don't overestimate what those numbers are, because it will lend itself to burnout faster even if you follow the recommendations of a good lifestyle.
