I need to keep the display on the whole time and considering how slow my internet connection is, it is a lot. I am surprised that there is no option to download the games while in standby or sleep mode.

I know that the Deck lowers the brightness but it seems to be awfully ineffective and of course I am also worried about display burn in.

Yeah.

There's a youtuber who's had a static image on the switch oled on ever since it came out. He makes a yearly check-up video showing the progress on the burn-in.

Suffice to say in normal use OLED burn-in is essentially a thing of the past. It's only still a thing on extreme brightness TVs where the panel is pushed to the very limit in terms of how much voltage it can handle.

At dimmed brightness, downloading some games, it won't be an issue.
