Yeah, it's interesting because contemplating "pushed to the point of exhaustion" for, say, Peggy or Jack feels slightly off-trope, even though it totally isn't - they're exactly the kind of raging workaholics who WOULD work themselves into a state of exhaustion! But it's not the version you normally see, whereas in the same canon, writing it for, say, Howard working for 3 days straight and then collapsing is entirely on trope, but Peggy doing the same thing doesn't really feel like it would be.
