That's the pressure of a start up rather than the specifics of the project though isn't it?
Going it alone and giving up the security of a steady pay check is going to be hard whether you're setting up a software company or a sandwich shop.
I suspect for every entrepreneur blogging about how being self employed has given them a great work life balance, I suspect there are 20 in the same position as you. It could be that you're not suited to the life but, more likely I suspect, it's just part and parcel of the early stages of setting out on your own.
No pressure, I have long runway and dozens of job offers to fallback to. And I just turned profitable.
This is not a rant, I love what I am doing and freedom it brings. I just want to point out that being OS nerd, does not always line up with being "better man".
