Another way you can tell that they have been marked as read without having to refresh, at least in other forums[1] is that the down arrow or chevron indicator in front of the thread title[2] disappears even though the font remains bold. It's subtle, but it's something.
[1] I have not specifically tested in the Tech Support forum, but have observed and/or replicated in others in both light/dark mode
[2] which, when clicked on, can be used as a quick way to jump to the first unread post in that thread
