Note: Olbers paradox would only apply in a Euclidean universe.
So, OP does not contradict the concept of an infinite non-expanding universe if the spacetime continuum is non-Euclidean. And we know from the GR field equations (as well as through empirical evidence of, say, SNe Ia data) that the manifold is nonlinear (from an observers perspective).
Thus, OP is an irrelevant argument against the static, infinite universe model.
