Forced downtime is good, and when done properly can make optimization more interesting. 'Optional' downtime is also interesting; Introducing opportunities for players to create uptime strategies which may be riskier or more complicated is fun and rewarding.

Full uptime dummy bosses create a situation where you are doing the exact same sequence of abilities in multiple, different fights. It's extremely boring and makes content feel more repetitious.
