Am I just going to use the method and not pay particular attention to webgl versus webgpu

It is compatible if you tell to Babylon what to use and check if it is possible to use webGPU (currently, before version 113, it is possible only with beta version of Chrome which needs to be installed separately).
You may have a look how it is done here

          // get the module to load
          const moduleName = getModuleToLoad();
          const createSceneModule = await getSceneModuleWithName(moduleName);
          const engineType =
              location.search.split("engine=")[1]?.split("&")[0] || "webgl";
          // Execute the pretasks, if defined
          await Promise.all(createSceneModule.preTasks || []);
          // Get the canvas element
          const canvas = document.getElementById("renderCanvas") as HTMLCanvasElement;
          // Generate the BABYLON 3D engine
          let engine: Engine;
          if (engineType === "webgpu") {
              const webGPUSupported = await WebGPUEngine.IsSupportedAsync;
              if (webGPUSupported) {
                  const webgpu = engine = new WebGPUEngine(canvas, {
                      adaptToDeviceRatio: true,
                      antialias: true,
                  });
                  await webgpu.initAsync();
                  engine = webgpu;
              } else {

This would help doing it for you Babylon.js/engineFactory.ts at 5e224caca6472a7f155443f81f38738d82133a5a · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub
