Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
https://github.com/rapidsai/rapidsmpf/pull/361 added a `Shuffler.concat_insert`, which might offer better performance on insert. This issue will track exposing that in cudf-polars and benchmarking it:
- [ ] Find where to update: I guess this will actually be in `cudf-polars`, call `shuffler.concat_insert` instead of `shuffler.insert_chunks` at https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/blob/5853debea4ae85b48b99e8f556973ea244f6a71a/python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/experimental/shuffle.py#L72.
- [ ] Add a configuration option to control which is used at that point
- [ ] Run some benchmarks (the PDSH benchmarks that do shuffles). Get timings and nsys profiles for both insert types.
- [ ] Figure out what the default should be, whether it should be static or dynamic, and whether we should keep the configuration option (is one strictly better?)
**Describe the solution you'd like**
For now, a configuration option to choose the insert method.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
N/A
**Additional context**
cc @nirandaperera, does that all sound right to you? Can I still just pass in the `packed_inputs` that's the result of `partition_and_pack` there?
