Yeah, sorta. But then I don't see us killing or even just laying off people to meet the climate goals (the point is to save people / well-being, not reduce it), whereas we can choose which electric technologies to use so long as emissions from electricity are dominated by the fossil components, so I don't really see the "could replace humans with more efficient workers" math working out this way

Oh, you haven't met _that_ part of the climate people. A surprising number of them do want to reduce the number of people and they see "degrowth" as the solution.
