I want to start a show with a lot of seasons, but I do not want to burn out. Is it better to follow release order or skip around by story arc?

Use release order for the first few episodes so you learn the tone and characters. After that, a curated arc list is fine if the show has obvious filler.

If the show is mystery-heavy, avoid skipping. Small character beats can become important later, and a shortcut can make the payoff feel weaker.
