I often find that the low bar squat fatigues my back so much to the point that it affects my deadlift training a lot. Am I doing something wrong form wise or is my lower back just weak? Should I send you a form check?

I reckon that you’ll adapt, with time. Adjust the intensities to keep the RPE realistic (as prescribed), and build your way up. Maybe mix in some squat variations on your deadlift days also (high bar squat, belt squat, leg press, etc.) while you’re doing so.
