Among the existing DTS files there is pretty significant use of heartbeat although its not absolute. There are 119 files that set a default-trigger, of these 91 (~75%) include a line to configure a heartbeat. Personally I'd be very happy with heartbeat by default on STM32... I've seldom worked on a board without a default-enabled heartbeat so they make me feel comfortable. ;-) Daniel.
