Is there a way to control gnome's power profile outside from the gui?
More specifically, I want to automate booting in performance mode and switching to energy save after a couple of minutes, just to have stuff load faster, but I found no way to do that.

Yes. Under the hood, gnome controls the power profiles daemon. You can configure it from the cli via powerprofilesctl. powerprofilesctl get gets the currently active mode. powerprofilesctl set performance set’s it to performance mode. There are three modes: ‘power-saver’, ‘balanced’, ‘performance’

Are you sure the kernel isn’t doing this already? If yes: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling
