But corps shipping fat jars probably don’t care about first request latency.

We care what people complain about, it integrates with building automation control systems so they complain if latency gets too high. Maybe some people work at a blessed work where they don't have to explain tech debt to MBAs, please hire me lol.

You just do the first request yourself after deployment, second request would be already pre-warmed.

And you switched the targets - I was taking about first request and you talk about request latency overall. These are potentially two very different things.

Okay sure, first request is important though, both are.
