Given that almost all IPOs are priced to be intentionally oversubscribed these days (to achieve an "IPO pop"; beats me why that's good for the company doing the IPO), isn't it a mistake to not participate?

you as Retail will not be able to buy pre-market open, at which point it has long since 'popped'.

Did you mean to say "I as retail"? Because my broker did let me participate in IPOs in the past pre-pop.

Sure, but not in any meaningful amount. Robinhood giving users 10 shares at pre-pop price isn't exactly a big allocation.
