I'm more on the technical solution team, mostly because the problems of the whole process (including your sleepless nights) will be determined by the particularities of your technologies. You can choose your technology well or you can choose poorly and go down the rabbit hole of new and new secondary problems and issues that only exist because of that poor decision. Practical wisdom is very effective.

That said of course life/work balance is an important aspect and we should strive to avoid work cultures that value time invested versus output, because they reward mostly the appearance of bussiness instead of useful work, so you get both negatives workers are tired from working hard on appearing to be busy and the production becomes secondary, lower quality and slower.
