I don't want to tell you how to have your fun, especially with a PC game that allows for just about any kind of "mod" you'd like to apply but TF2 isn't really about "kill and destroy". Team Fortress 2 seems to be about leveraging unique classes in order to overcome the weakling BLU, outsmarting and outgunning them at every chance given.
Instaspawn (like the blog states) just leads to static levels, and instaspawn servers seem to cater to the more 'deathmatch' crowd - where you hold down W and click Mouse1 until you die, then mash on Mouse1 because waiting to respawn is apparently painful. Learn from your mistakes! Study your (better/still alive) teammates!
