Main thing with OLED is battery life on portable devices, as displaying dark colours takes much less energy on OLED. Burn in has also improved quite a lot with the new technologies such as WOLED, it's not 2015 anymore where your touchscreen keyboard or game HUD is going to burn in on the screen.
IPS longevity concerns can also be an issue with things like backlight failure. And for all the disadvantages IPS has in a battery powered portable form factor, it's not worth the advantages it provides. There's a reason practically all smartphones use OLED screens now.
I still would not use an OLED screen as a computer monitor though. That's a recipe for disaster in terms of burn in.
I've had a lot of gadgets with IPS screens for the past decade+, and not a single one has ever had a backlight failure. I've had one gadget with an OLED screen, a midrange Samsung phone from 2021, and it had burn-in within a month despite very moderate usage and endless assurances from people on various forums that OLED burn-in wasn't a problem anymore. I'm sticking with IPS until micro LED is as cheap and common as IPS. I won't be suckered again.
