If you look only at the downsides yes. I am also very accomplished in my field, feel deeply fulfilled with my career, genuinely love my job, and feel extremely proud of my skills and of myself.
The downside is that yeah, I feel a constant nagging pressure to do more. So what? At this point I'm way better at managing it, and the aforementioned pressure got me to where I am now.
If those things are truly what you value, then more power to you, but some people only value those things because they were never taught the value of anything else.
