You could fetch the latest STH periodically based on how often a log

once per
hour makes sense if a log's MMD is 24 hours and its STH frequency is
24. If you
are looking to fetch STHs today, i.e., from a log that is not CT/bis
compliant,
you could learn how often STHs are normally produced by some initial
polling
tests. Another option is to simply pick an interval that suits your
needs,
preferably without being to aggressive based on how often STHs are
produced.
Well, yes, I understand all this. Even if long polling is suboptimal in
some sceanrios, what stops the authors from introducing long-polling
API request for STH, it can be even optional. Because in my use case
(that's a long story) I find long polling a better fit.
