What I've done is use a wallpaper that is black at the top. On the MBP's OLED screen that means the black bezel perfectly blends into the now black menu bar. It's pretty much a perfect solution but the problem it's solving is ridiculous IMO.
I do the same, I can’t see the notch and got a surprise the other day when my mouse cursor disappeared for a moment.
I don’t get the hate for the notch tho. The way I see it, they pushed the menus out of the screen and up into their own dedicated little area. We get more room for content.
It’s like the touchbar for menus. Oh, ok, now I know why people hate it. /jk

Exactly - laughed at first but it quickly made sense if they are prioritizing decent webcam quality. Before my M1 Pro 14 I had a Dell XPS 13 that also had tiny bezels but squeezed the camera into the very thin top bezel. The result was a terrible webcam that I gladly traded for a notch and a better camera quality.
However, that Dell did still fit Windows Hello (face unlock) capability into that small bezel, so the absence of FaceID despite having the notch is a bit shit.
