Our engineering team has been working insane hours to hit this release deadline and everyone is burned out but we keep saying 'just one more sprint' and I can see people starting to check out mentally.

More people experience this than they realize.
Your team keeps grinding through burnout because no one will say the deadline is unrealistic.
