No, I've not seen something that explicitly requires toggling a burst
mode on and off to do a bulk operation.  Off the top of my head I'd
suggest just always leaving the burst mode enabled but I assume there's
some downside to doing that.  We could add something but I'm not sure if
it's worth it without having seen any other devices with the same need.
