This is the only time when I notice the notch – when menu options get moved to its right. I got genuinely confused the other day – ‘where *is* the Window menu?!’ and it took me longer than I’d like to admit to find it. 😬
 
I don't mind the notch on the iPhone, but I really dislike the notch on the MacBook. So...

Settings, Displays, show all resolutions,
change from 1470*956(Default) to 1470*918
and the notch is gone, semi-permanently, no need to change wallpapers or whatever.
yeah, you lose a weensie bit of screen but you now have a full unsullied menu bar.

Apple just needs to bring dynamic island to the mac.
