New Planner stuck in dark mode and can't change per-plan backgrounds

Ok, I've got something to slightly improve this situation. It's not smart backgrounds, but it makes Planner more attractive if you access it via the web like I do.

In your browser, install the Stylebot extension. Enable and open it when you have Planner for the Web open. In the "Code" section, paste in the following CSS:

.planTaskBoardPage {
  background-color: transparent;
  background-image: url('https://4kwallpapers.com/images/wallpapers/windows-11-stock-grey-abstract-dark-background-3840x2160-8957.png');
  background-size: contain;
}

Modify the URL to a nice background image of your choosing. Stylebot will apply this CSS change whenever you return to Planner

If you know how to Inspect the page and tailor CSS elements, you can go and have some fun making Planner look like exactly what you want it to be (until next time Microsoft update something). Just put your changes into Stylebot so they are sticky.
