If the balance is exactly 0, then it needs the burn. /chains/main/blocks/head/context/contracts/${addr}/balance

Do I need to check also if it's been at least a cycle with balance 0? Or is it immediately inactive and needs the burn?

According to the other question you asked, immediately inactive. You can test this by using the tezos-client in --dry-run mode and see if the client adds an additional fee.

If the balance is exactly 0 AND it's not a delegate and not a KT address ;)
