I think people use burnout for two distinct things: project/work burnout and job burnout. Obviously, the first can easily lead to the second, especially since a lot of places have a burnout staffing structure/cycle where they burn ppl out and then restaff. I've had both (multiple times) but in places that are more supportive you can still push yourself hard on projects and both you and your team will avoid project burnout, at least sometimes. With this it's about pacing rests/vacations, having good team coverage to unblock each other, protective management so not too much BS comes at a team especially in exhaustion points... Even with great jobs/supportive teams, work burnout can happen. For me, it's often when I've gone past some organizational cycle where everything is repeating from the first play of the record (eg leadership cycles or "full site redesign project" iterations). I think the OP is more or less talking about these two types of burnout with the inner vs outer bars.
