Pay $1100, mine for 180 days at $3/day profit, sell for $600 when the market crashes. That's just break even. But if you are wanting a new laptop anyway, and mine when you can, it adds some value.
Basically even without crypto, there'd be shortages of CPUs and GPUs now, and this just makes it worse.
I dunno from what I've read and seen I just think that burn in isn't that big a deal.

Most of the time solder joints will go bad under high stress/temps, and laptops will start freezing up or give colorful glitch screens. I know how to solder and repair them though its very rare for the chip itself to be damaged. Maybe in a year or two there will be lots of SOLD NOT WORKING/FOR PARTS laptops on eBay that I can buy up and repair.
In 6-12 months there are going to be tens of thousands of these laptops being sold as "refurbished" with overused, janky GPUs.

It's the fans that die. But they are easy to replace.

Despite the smart controllers, burn in is possible on both laptops and TVs with OLED displays. Some user initiated techniques of controlling burn in on laptops is to decrease the display idle time to maybe 1 minute, use dark mode, and use a dark screen saver. Burn in chances increase with higher brightness and use of bright colored backgrounds.
Still I wouldn't expect it to last as long as normal laptop display like my Macbook Pro 2013 runs fine and screen looks same as when I bought it!
Doubt you can say that about your OLED laptop if you do buy one!
