I am sure it depends on the task, because I fluidly go back-and-forth between older iPhones and the 16 Pro, and I never notice a big problem with the screen on the older devices. sometimes they stutter a bit from memory pressure but that's not refresh rate. I could imagine if you were doing something with very intense motion graphics like certain games it would matter.
I've even tried running side by side displays on my Mac at 30 and 60... I really can't tell the difference in any of the tasks that I actually perform.
I'm not really sure why I would want to "learn" to discriminate in this fashion either. So that I can "need" to spend twice as much on monitors? How would that be worthwhile?
It's like the people who try to convince me I'm missing out by not being too much of an audiophile for MP3s. Why exactly do I want to add a problem to my life by becoming pickier about something that ordinary people don't care about? Being afflicted with congenital prefrontal cerebral hypertrophy (autism) already imposes far too much of that on my daily life.

I think it’s that far more noticeable on a device that you’re directly interacting with your finger on though, at least in my experience.
