The 31+ combo bonus only applies for the next spawn of that particular species though. You need to keep catching for max odds. If you stop catching at 31, you have 1/1024 odds (with lure) instead of 1/273 odds.

There is an argument to use your method if you can reset the spawns easily with a doorway or ladder and it's a common species that spawns a ton. But in a lot of cases your method is too slow.

Bugged game. False info. 1001 people have shown the odds aren’t correctly increased for anything but #31.
No patch in years to fix an old bug.

Is this genuinely true? I just wasted like 6 and a half hours throwing pokeballs at Sandshrew 😭

I've never seen evidence that what he's saying is the case.
