To me the most important factor to tolerate on-call duty is that I must have 100% authority to fix the things that would ever make me be paged. Under such an arrangement, I control my destiny (not 100%, but close enough). If I can make the code so robust and so easy to diagnose that I'm very likely to never ever be paged, I'm ok being on call. But if there is some psychopath product manager making engineering decisions above engineering, forcing to increase tech debt constantly, guaranteeing constant outages and thus constant on-call pages then a big fat no. I won't be on call.
