As others have noted, I think it's important to note the difference between Agile and Scrum. Agile is a mindset, Scrum is a framework that encapsulates a lot of Agile tenants. The ideas of a sprint or backlog or cards are purely Scrum. Agile says nothing about using these items to satisfy customers (the highest priority per the Agile Manifesto). That said, Agile principles intentionally include a note about promoting sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. TL;DR So long as you are constantly mindful of Agile tenants, there's already built in awareness around burnout and sustainable practices.
