Does that still hold if you have no idea what's running on the device? Or does that just help to narrow down the blocks of samples to test to a small enough section that you can brute force the remainder?

I'd say for it to be practical, you'd need to know the rough time window (within seconds) that the device is doing cryptography within. For example, if it's got an encrypted bootloader, you can reliably expect it to start decrypting stuff shortly after power on.
