I was just talking with a Temporal solutions engineer this week and this metric is their recommended one for autoscaling on. Instead of autoscaling on queue depth, you scale on queue latency! Specifically for them they split up the time from enqueue to start, and then the time from start to done, and you scale on the former, not the total ("ScheduleToStart" in their terms).
