The “dark side” of the moon actually sees more sunlight than the side we see, since it is never subject to falling under the earth’s shadow.

True, if "dark side" = 'far side' (the side always pointing away from earth). The earth-facing side of course falls in the Earth's shadow during lunar eclipses, whether partial or total.

Not to pick nits, but if one added reflected sunlight to the totals your statement might not be true.
