I have a visible layer in the layers-dialogue filled with black and labelled "Background", and placed at the bottom of the layers stack.
Yet still, any transparent areas in each layer will be filled with white. Deselecting Fill transparent areas with background color will still fill them with white also, as though it's disregarding that option altogether.
As Ofnuts points out the background color is not the same as the background layer. You can change the background color to black.
Also for Gimp 2.10.38 there is an old script which merges the background layer with all layers, originally meant for animations, looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/A39SdZZ.mp4
Attached, unzip and put in your scripts folder.
