I was in a similar boat (I turn 50 soon) until recently. An opportunity to switch to architecture came along and I jumped at the chance. Fast forward a few months and I'm loving being a IC with zero line management responsibility. Maybe that could be a way back for you?

Going via architecture is an interesting angle. I certainly feel more comfortable discussing at that high level and know concepts and trade-offs quite well. I do wonder about even going down to the level of what libraries to use. Much seems to have changed there and there is so much now I've never used personally. Was that an issue for you at all?
