Official statement

Core Web Vitals are not a signal that enhances ranking if you excel; rather, they act as a penalty signal when there are issues. Having a perfect score does not increase traffic. The CWV are designed to identify poor performance, not to reward good performance.

TL;DR

Core Web Vitals penalize poor performance but do not improve rankings when scores are good. No boosting effect even with a perfect score.
