If you are not irritated by it and can enjoy the device, do so and stop looking for issues - would be my recommendation.

All OLED screens flicker to some degree. Some people are bothered by it (a lot) while others don’t develop any symptoms. If it doesn’t bother you, count yourself lucky and keep on using it. No worries about it hurting you. You’ll know when it does.

Display flickering causing physical symptoms is similar to going sailing on a sailboat. Some people get deathly seasick while others feel perfectly fine.
