I got a few AOC-S8076L-L16E unexpectedly in a server I ordered off Ebay. Based off my previous thread https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/bottleneck-on-my-zfs-proxmox-backup-server.41236/ would it be worth me replacing the Adaptec ASR-71605 with one of these? Does it support IT mode (will be ZFS storage)? I can't find any documentation on them.

An AOC is a part number for a Supermicro controller card. You might want to contact them. It must be an older product because I cannot find it on their web site.

AOC-S8076L-L16E uses PMC PM8076 - same as Adaptec Series 8 controllers. While being one generation newer than your Series 7 - personally I would not bother with replacing them in your existing config.

The Adaptec ASR-71605 I use now is known for getting rather hot is there no benefit in my example at all? Even if it uses less power.

I don't have the exact numbers right now but it's something like 13W vs 15W - it does not run much cooler.
