of the data source as OData in "Type" dropdown (a non-functional dropdown).  That makes me think that it is implied that OData is supported on PBIRS.

Yep, I'm more than familiar with that page, it's the one you linked in your initial response so I did not bother re-linking to it. Unfortunately it does not list the authentication types supported by PBIRS

This documentation clearly mentions that Scheduled Refreshes are supported for OData Feed and that is what I am using with-in a PBIX files (not an RDL file).

The problem is that OData is a protocol not a specific source. It can be implemented in different ways and the spec does not mandate any specific authentication method. You will find that OData sources that use anonymous or windows auth work fine (http basic auth may work too but I have not tried that).

Sharepoint Online Lists for example use OData as their underlying protocol, but like DevOps they use OAuth for authentication (which Power BI shows as "Organizational Accout").

However I just had a look at the DevOps documentation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/powerbi/client-authentication-options?view=azure-devops and it talks about the fact that you can use basic authentication or a personal access token - have you tried using either of those options for authentication or are you using the "Organizational Account" option? You may find that setting up basic auth (which I think you will have to change in Desktop) might allow this to work.
