High Hz on OLED produce excellent strobeless motion blur reduction with fast GtG pixel response. It is easier to tell apart 60Hz vs 120Hz vs 240Hz on OLED than LCD, and more visible to mainstream. Includes WOLED and QD-OLED displays.

The answer is simple: Will you have enough money saved up to buy another monitor if burn-in occurs within 2-3 years? if the answer is no then don't buy an OLED for desktop usage.
No one knows in general what OLED longevity will be, I think it's going to be a mixture of potluck/panel lottery and how long you keep the display on for, leaving static items on screen etc.
From memory, I've seen a number of posts on this forum and YouTube comments that mention they've had no burn-in despite using the their OLED TV a lot. I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you use a screensaver, turn off the monitor when going AFK for a while, use the features that come with the screen to prevent burn-in and you should be fine.
If a bought a cheap secondary monitor for browsing, do you think I will be fine playing SF6 for 5 hours a day everyday? or does that also fall in the risky territory in your opinion? I'm specifically afraid of the hud and as I said I'll be using it in SDR at its max 250nits.
I keep hearing people say OLED is fine for gaming, but someone who plays a bunch of games casually is probably very different from a competitive player who only plays 1 or 2 games max in terms of risk of burn-in, no?
If you're worried about having to buy a new monitor further down the line, then yes. Solely use the monitor for gaming, and use the other for web browsing and desktop usage (static objects). So you're asking will you increase burn-in playing the same two games constantly? probably yes? I don't own an OLED monitor (or TV) nor' do I know what the future result will be from specific use cases. As I say, I wouldn't worry about it.
