AFAIK, the overnight soak is more about keeping cooking time to a minimum. Like, I know if you don't soak pinto beans overnight you can still cook them same day, it just takes a lot longer. IIRC, you don't want to salt the overnight soak liquid because it might help the skin separate or something. Also, if you haven't seasoned the soaking water, it's aquafaba and you can use it in place of egg whites in stuff like whiskey sours and some meringue-like pastries.
The beanpilled chad takes the lesson from their Desi siblings and uses a pressure cooker for their dried beans.
You know you've got yourself an avid bean fan when they have a pressure cooker in their kitchen.
Does a rice cooker work?
Honestly you're better off with a slow cooker if you want to take that route, with the exception being for kidney beans and broad beans as this is not a safe way of cooking those beans.
A rice cooker only boils the pot for a minute before reducing the temperature down really low so it would extend the cooking time out to what a slow cooker would require, except idk if it would even turn out well in a rice cooker.
Disclaimer that this is for your typical rice cooker and not a fancy pressure rice cooker - I've never used one of those so I can't attest to whether it would be possible to cook dry beans well in one.
