Thanks Dmitri. We run load tests normally not to reproduce the issue but to simulate the real world.
As https://www.guru99.com/timers-jmeter.html said, *In real life visitors do not arrive at a website all at the same time, but at different time intervals. So Timer will help mimic the real-time behavior.* This is a more important aspect to us, but thanks for the input/warning.
