So obviously I don't know what kind of environment you work in but this entire post screams some sort of fundamental lack of understanding in what you are doing and what you think you should be doing. Tools are tools and you really just pick the best one for each project and the criteria for every tool depends on the nature of the project.

I learned most of my development practices in MERN stack but jumped into Vue and serverless/cloud native out of the blue for my work project partly because of what tech is used in my company and partly because I wanted to try out Vue. If you have your fundamentals down it shouldn't really be an issue to be truly tech agnostic and jump into different frameworks and tools whenever needed.

Constantly learning new tools to the point of burning out feels really weird and to the point where the issue isn't in the tooling but in your own approach to development.
