In my own experience, battery optimization is worse (or the benefits are out-weighted by) than higher battery capacity. Reason being that after 1 year when your battery has degraded, and in combination that we don't take much care of ours phones (apps installed, services running...) then the phone starts lasting less than 1 day, which for me is not acceptable.
I have a pixel phone that lasted 32 hours of battery. After more than one year it now lasts 17 hours. I'm sure that part of it I could fix by identifying some battery-hungry apps or formatting my phone, but most of it is just due to battery degradation as can be seen in battery health. Even though I use adaptive charging (at night it charges slowly until my alarm hour)
