Yes, that is exactly the role of です here. です is a polite marker that you add to i-adjectives or i-adjectives like to make them polite. So yes, 休みたいです is more polite than 休みたい

Is it limited to adjectives? Is it for the same reason (politeness) that we add です after the たい form of verbs, such as in "誰かが答えたいか?" / "誰かが答えたいですか?" – Starckman Aug 02 '22 at 03:30
