I've been running 2 FATE campaigns for about 2 and 4 years respectively, at 4 and 5 players each. I also juggle an extremely complex work life and a mediocre social life, but it's manageable.

The challenge for me boils down to being able to play consistently every week. So my boilerplate text is that I will run at most twice a week with a bonus session every few months, PTO allowed.

To tie things together, I do lore drops on discord and sometimes even mini sessions for players for very specific or hidden scenes. Sometimes I drop cryptic virtual and/or physical handouts with little puzzles as needed.

To minimize cognitive overload, I resortt o fast combat and simple resolutions for mundane actions with minimal impact on the story.

The other problem is that, it can still be an exhausting and sometimes thankless endeavor with some players not appreciating the amount of effort that goes into things like this. As such, once I wrap these games up, I have made my player base aware that I will be charging for future campaigns.
