Right now the talos --geckoProfile option hard-codes the the "GeckoMain,Compositor" thread list, which doesn't provide much useful information when the talos test is running on one of the webrender-enabled test platforms. If webrender is enabled (generally via MOZ_WEBRENDER=1 in the env) it should use a thread list of "GeckoMain,Compositor,WR,Renderer" instead.

Also, it should actually pass the thread list to the gecko profiler, which it currently doesn't do. The relevant env var MOZ_PROFILER_STARTUP_FILTERS [1] is not set at [2] along with the other vars.

Is the profile supposed to be automatically symbolicated, or is there extra work that needs to be done for that?

is this guaranteed to be a string on all operating systems?  we could force it by doing:
str(os.getenv('MOZ_WEBRENDER')) == '1'
