The vast majority of the admin actions of which you speak are anti-vandalism ones.
Nope mostly image copyright issues.
We need the majority of existing admins as admins not because we need that many to do the load, but because better decisions get made the more admins there are and the more time an admin has to fix a problem.
Which would be great if the majority of existing admins were spreading the load.
Looking purely at numbers ignores the fact that some admin actions are made with little thought, while some require complex decision-making.
Includeing that gets you exactly the same result. Small number of admins perform most admin tasks while the rest are fairly inactive as admins.
IMO, a good number of of the '100 most active admins' are those most likely to burn out.
Only because if you ah burn out from minimal activity it is somewhat hard to tell.
In fact, in some respects, the concentration of admin actions is a PROBLEM; IMO, it shows that too many admin actions are being done too quickly.
So figure out how to get the less active admins more active.
