Google's SRE books cover a lot of the things that large teams managing large distributed systems encounter and how to tackle it in a way that doesn't burn out engineers. Depending on organization size/spread, follow-the-sun oncall schedules drastically reduce burnout and apprehension about outages. Incident management procedures give confidence when outages do happen. Blameless postmortems provide a pathway to understanding and fixing the root causes of troublesome outages. Automation reduces manual toil. Google SRE has been keeping a lot of things running for a decade or more and has learned a lot of lessons. I did that from 2014 to 2018 and it seemed like a pretty mature organizational approach, and the books document essentially that era.
