I don't think we actually disagree on the facts that there is burnout and that working conditions in the OTW are stressful, but the way you're framing it is patronizing and insulting, and your statement "Most of the staff and volunteers count as real people who have real lives and yet somehow manage to keep going with this environment that is really not very accessible to real people who have real lives." doesn't manage to clarify whether or not you think that the people currently working in the OTW and struggling to make things better are "real people with real lives" or if only the people who quit are worth caring about.
Some people work for the OTW and make problems. They are real people with real lives. Some people work for the OTW and try to solve problems. They are real people with real lives. Some people work for the OTW and then quit. They are real people with real lives.
Framing one group as less important than another just because they're still toiling along is bullshit.
