This is a very fair point, similar to what some other members wrote. The only thing I need is to organize my work time a way that will make this possible and still let me perform in a similar pace as I do now.
One of the biggest things you can be learning during this time if you haven't already (and it's an intensely uncomfortable thing to learn) is how and what to delegate. My projects don't take me less time when I'm effective in this, but they do free up mental load for doing only the important grind-y work, and separately thinking about the things that need to be thought about.
Junior devs are scary, and giving them actual responsibility is scary, but it's also how they get more competent and eventually do more good work than things that need adjustment or rework.
