This is the problem with a stressful role, with little compensation. Most people wouldn't want to be in this position.
It sounds like anyone that runs a moderately sized open source project.
More money would solve most of these issues.

Our rule was that anyone who wanted to moderate “too much” was effectively not allowed to do so.
The catch being finding those who would help out and moderate effectively was not easy. And even then you were cycling through them regularly as inevitably if they cared enough they also cared enough that they stepped down.
I do wonder though if you have people doing it for the money, would that help or hinder?
Money could also be invested in developers to maintain Mastadon and issue security fixes.
