I’m burned out in my current role, but worried I won’t be able to go back to good agencies if I leave.

Yes! I’m thinking of relocating from Chicago to Minneapolis.

Yes. I moved from NYC to Chicago last year. The work life balance was much better but I hated the bland work we were doing so I left. I’m freelance now and find myself being drawn back to NYC. Hope this helps.
