You shouldn’t be working weekends. If you’re working weekends then the project is not staffed right or managed well. Things will get better as you develop experience and become quicker with your work. I have done many midnight days but these are not the norm and your experience will vary depending on your project team

The bare minimum, what are they going to do? Fire me?

Burning the bridge usually refers to your teams - do you want to leave them hanging? Do they have the potential to be useful connections down the road? Up to you.

I'm in the same position, and have decided to put in 45-50 charge hours until the end. I agree it is unreasonable to expect you to put in the same effort. However, I did also let some of my close team members know 3-4 weeks in advance so that there is time to look for someone else/plan ahead.
