Unless they magically fixed the burn in issues that come with OLED I'll be staying away from these.

OLED doesn't burn in often anymore. I've never even seen one that does burn in in person. From large TVs to phones

You are right they are less prone to burn in nowadays, Reason being software. Microsoft needs a anti static image theme in Windows, Motion wallpapers, transparent icons / Windows or full deep black theme non emitting pixels(back to dos?
). The taskbar problem is already solved with the auto hide option.

No it's just the advancement in technology of OLED itself. My current and last phone both had OLED screens. There are many static bars and icons on phones. Not one burn in issue. Same with TVs where they are most likely to get Burns in due to the higher current flow in a TV. They've been very good. Older models are more likely but they are fine nowadays. They really only happen if you make it burn in on purpose
I think some people forget that CRT's had issues with burn in too, Windows is packed with "Anti-static" technologies, the original/traditional one being animated screensavers, though I can see why many have forgot about them(And their original purpose) after a decade or so of LCD dominance. Animated wallpapers, taskbar autohide, ect, fit the same bill(And have also been a part of Windows for a couple of decades).
But yeah the issue with OLED burn-in was exasperated by blue OLED's much faster wear down compared to green/red, though this has been dealt with in many ways from firmware to pixel layout to just improvements in silicon optronics.
You could definitely still "force" a burn-in on an OLED screen but at this point it'd likely take some concerted effort and time, or a severe lack of care and much more time.

But wait, you didn't mention whether it comes with FreeSync 2! I absolutely need that, it's what I've been waiting for in a monitor if it does!
Bonus if that HDR10 also supports HDR10+.

It most likely will not. HDR 10+ is a Samsung standard. It's more likely to support Dolby Vision, even then I don't expect more than HDR10
It was pioneered by Samsung but it's a royalty free open standard and is now led by an alliance of players including Panasonic, 20th century fox & Amazon, with a few other hardware manufacturers(Oppo, Pioneer and the like) creating devices like BR players. For all intents and purposes it should end up the more universal standard due to the low costs & open approach appealing to smaller production studios(Hate to say it but there's a good chance the porn industry will end up being the deciding factor here like with almost every format war of the last few decades it seems), but for the time being many large players are still sticking mostly with Dolby's expensive & proprietary standard (Since it was practically on market first). However, we're seeing many devices now start to get over-the-air firmware updates with HDR10+ support so it's not like manufacturers have to choose to support it on hardware release/as a priority feature(And it can work on a Dolby Vision device without issue so many DV systems will likely gain support over time).
