If you like the company and they like you, wouldn't you be a better asset in a role that actually fits you? You're not going to help anyone if you just burn out and leave.

Your needs matter too, and while no job is perfect, it sucks to dread work every day! I hope you can talk to them and find a better balance.

As someone who's been in this position a few times and observed it even more: The company will be fine. If you give them some heads up and are helpful in handover you might be shocked to see how smoothly things are carried on by people who appeared helpless just a month prior.

Guilt helps no-one. Better to take that energy you're expending on guilt and redirect it into making this situation work for both you and those around you.
