But ASUS model is rumored to be brighter than others to begin with, so we don't know how bright 65% actually is
Makes sense to me, to not overprovision the power supply

Seen the ASUs 32 oled is limited to 65% brightness when using usbc power delivery.

Well that’s a deal breaker for me
This is only if you enable the additional power delivery up to 90W, above the standard 65W. The user manual says:

65 W: The USB Type-C port provides 65W power supply.
90 W: The USB Type-C port provides 90W power supply. The maximum brightness will be 65

On a different topic, was researching the matter of DP 1.4 vs DP 2.1 and DSC
Evaluating if waiting for a monitor with DP 2.1 is of any benefit for the F word*

Apparently since the only graphics cards with DP 2.1 right now are RDNA3, and they only support up to UHBR 13.5, they also need to use DSC to achieve 4k@240Hz.
And there is no information whether the custom scalers in monitors would support UHBR20 either (or if near future cards would support it)

So if DSC is your concern, forget it. No disadvantage (except Nvidias shoddy implementation) and probably no way around it at least this year.

*futureproofing is a curse word on these forums

So given the choice of running a DP1.4 cable or HDMi 2.1 cable from a RTX 4090 which is "best" if the monitor has either input?

It wouldn’t matter but generally displayport behaves better and has less bugs. HDMI is harder for manufacturers to test and tends to be more of a focus for external devices, games consoles etc as the assumption is that for pc people will use DP instead
