I’m using a pc and burn in is one of my biggest concerns. Power efficiency is a nice to have though and also its nice to have pure black just because its an oled else I would have bought an LCD
I don’t think pure black prevents burn in so much as saves power given that OLED is self emissive. Burn in reduction is generally handled by the the OS via user interface pixel shifting, and at certain intervals through an automated routine at the display level.
To your point, you can achieve better power efficiency with an ‘oled theme’. I’m not sure if GNOME desktop accommodates burn in mitigation based on display technology.
Using parts of the panel less will help to reduce burn in. Pixel shift is handled via my monitor and goes through a recalibration / health process after so many hours.
Anyway burn in will happen to all oled monitors so for longevity using pure blacks will mitigate and hopefully get a few more years out of the display.

It also just looks nice as a personal preference.
