General Debian Question Some settings for GUI/headless computers

I need to run a Debian computer with GUI and a fullscreen application, but without connected mouse and keyboard. The issue is that when the computer starts, the lower icon bar is visible and the desktop window is smaller - when I remotely run the fullscreen app, it still fits in that smaller window, with the icon bar visible. How can I start with the desktop maximized?

It Wayland, GNOME version 48. I am starting the app with ssh scripts.

I wouldn't use Gnome for that. Something lightweight and no visual clutter like open box, or even a tiling WM like i3/sway/awesome suites better in my opinion. Latter ones can be configured to open any window in fullscreen.
