I have not found a way to keep it on at all times without hitting OK when the screen prompt comes up. Sometimes I forget and have to hit the button a few miles after I've started out.
Yes, but this does not keep it on "permanently" or until you turn it off. It happens every time you start the truck. If you were in the Eco mode when the truck was shut down, of course.

On my 2022, I've found it remains in ECO-mode when I restart the truck within a certain amount of time ... and has done so when the truck was off for about an hour. I do not know the maximum time limit for ECO-mode to remain active when restarting. I do get the reminder when I start the truck the first time each day.

FYI, per the manual:
I do think, though, that it resets to Normal after a certain amount of time (unless I'm just missing the prompt when starting the truck for the first time in the morning).
Your vehicle starts in the last selected
drive mode for appropriate modes when
starting the vehicle within two hours of the
last key off. If the vehicle has been off for
more than two hours, a drive mode reminder
prompt displays on the instrument cluster
which requires you to confirm before the
vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode.

Like all previous comments I really like my Eco mode and wish the tranny would "stay put" where I left it.
Seems though, I recall in a truck forum long ago and far away, the people who lived there didn't care for Eco mode all that much...

I noticed that in ECO mode when I push resume on the cruse it keeps it at 25-30% throttle and changes the gears earlier to keep RPMs lower to get up to speed compared to the "N" setting where it goes up to 30-40% throttle and changes gears later allowing higher RPMs...
