I think that if you enable a pool member, a health check is initiated immediately and it will be marked down after (timeout) if it fails the health check.
If it starts out as green, very likely, you have another health check on that pool that succeeds much faster (for instance ICMP) in addition to the deeper one that gets bad response.

I have done this, and it works well enough for now, but this will require me to extend the wait for environments with long warmup times.
