I currently have these:
'50Hz','60Hz', '75Hz', '120Hz', '144Hz', '240Hz'
Are any common / used refresh rates missing? Those are all the usual I could find.

As there is still a difference of the maximal (and likely average) refresh rate, it would perhaps be better as an additional checkbox?

there are few more odd ones like 180hz and 200hz and ofc the 360hz monsters
so i would go with
'50Hz', '60Hz', '75Hz', '90Hz', '100Hz', '120Hz', '144Hz', '165Hz', '180Hz', '200Hz', '240Hz', '360Hz'

Should do it. Might even word it as "use" instead of just have since it seems a lot of people don't use it even though they have it. As someone who will not accept gaming without gsync, I also know there are plenty of DEs that simply don't support it due to having a bad compositor.
There is always a refresh rate to the mode though. That would be the maximum (or in case of bad freesync monitors, the fallback when it switches off due to fps being to low).
Do make sure your question is clear though. I have a 100 Hz GSYNC monitor, but 99% of the time I'm on a 60 Hz mode. This is due to higher modes using the overdrive feature, which isn't really that good for picture quality.
"What is your monitor refresh rate?" -> '50Hz', '60Hz', '75Hz', '90Hz', '100Hz', '120Hz', '144Hz', '165Hz', '180Hz', '200Hz', '240Hz', '360Hz'
"Do you use VRR (Variable refresh rate)?" -> 'Yes', 'No'.
Thoughts?

"Do you use VRR (Variable refresh rate)?" -> 'Yes', 'No', 'Sometimes'.
cause for example i use it super rarely. 2 reasons, i dont actually like the feeling of refresh rate changing with the FPS in game... makes it feel odd, specially in racing games.... and secondly... i have to turn of one of my monitors to have it :(
