Personally, I feel that instant respawn is only useful on koth and ctf maps that don't have the choke next to spawn (this rules out ctf_2fort and ctf_doublecross). The point of respawn times is to leave flags/control points unprotected so that the other team has a chance to capture them.
cp_dustbowl stage 3, point B would be the best example. That point can be difficult enough to capture as BLU even without RED instant respawning. Points like this one (and pl_goldrush stage 3, point C) are the reason that RED has a longer respawn than BLU on push maps in the first place. tl;dr Maps are balanced for non-instant respawn.
