The option not on here is to move to a lead.

Tell the company that it's more than a one person job (should be obvious by the comments). Then pitch the idea of you being the lead and selecting the new team. You should be able to reduce your hours and get a raise. If not, then the comment above should work well.

I agree, this is a logical next step. Definitely time off is warranted though -- burnout is no joke.
