"Recently, my workload has been increased so much."

In a declarative sentence, we'd expect "so much that I simply can't keep up."

When we use "so much" without the "that," it's usually an exclamation.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

This is not exactly true of "too much."

It's not really awful, but there are other ways to say it. I'd say:

My workload has been increased a lot recently.
