I have never seen or heard of the "ping pong method" working successfully and I think we should disable/remove it by deafult. The parameter AVOID_ANGLE_MAX is also confusing because it does not work for simple avoidance and is only meant for the "ping-pong" method.
Recently I encountered a few setups that were trying to get the regular loiter-based avoidance working, and kept alt-hold on a switch for manual control/recovery. However, since the angle based avoidance was enabled by default in that mode which the operator did not know about, it almost led to a crash. I don't think anyone would mind removing this feature by default but it makes things cleaner and safer IMO.
