Lots of work makes one tired. One rests and recovers. Lots of meaninglessness is an entirely different and more long term corrosively degrading story.
I saw an article float by a couple days back about how the bigger cause of workplace stress is not believing in what you're doing, rather than difficulty/quantity of work... ring any bells? Can't find it now.

My impression is that most models of job stress/strain tend to focus on a ratio of demands to resources. Difficulty, quantity of work are demands; meaningful work is one form of resources.pic.twitter.com/xvgSUzyUDI

Good line of thought. Though I'd say meaning is more of a function of resources than a primary resource. Like a yield rate from attention or something.
