It really depends on how much a fast request is worth to you. With a manual ping, you can keep only one function alive. In the worst case you may actually block your existing function with that ping which causes another instance to be spawned for real requests (and experience slow startup there).

The timed pings are just a hack and don't solve all the issues.
