"to the point where I question the most basic things in coding"
What are those things?
I maybe have a similar experience. I question every little detail that may add unnecessary complexity and I see those things as potentially limiting to overall outcome. Controversially those can be things like overuse of React's hooks leading to unwanted patterns, or Vue's special string syntax or Redux's issue with thunks, or MobX's OOP god like objects. I work on a large TS codebase. I have a strong opinion about how the code should look like, but it's discouraging to see how others don't pay enough attention to understand the long term effects of some unwanted patterns that lead to technical debt. Sometimes I think that my colleagues confuse simple vs easy.
Also, I wouldn't rush to diagnose burnout or anything like that. It might be as simple as accumulation of experience leading to higher expectations. Nothing wrong about that.
