Can't you simply maximise the frame? You can achieve this automatically by
putting the following in your init file:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(fullscreen . maximized))
If you're running Emacs 27, it's even better to put it in `early-init.el`.

It should work for both. TBH, though, I do not know (and cannot test) whether
this will cause the Emacs frame to cover the OS's status bar/panel/dock
(whatever it's called).
