100% idle state is important to reduce power consumption, so blinking
while otherwise idle is to be avoided in general, yes. But it's OK to
blink when there's other activity. E.g. in Emacs, after execution of
a command by default the cursor blinks (by default) for upto
`blink-cursor-blinks` after which it stays solid.

That's only for those editor that run within a text-terminal (and even
in those cases, the editor can decide to control the cursor's blinking.
Emacs currently doesn't, but I use a local patch which does let it do
so, so it obeys `blink-cursor-blinks`, `blink-cursor-interval`, and
`blink-cursor-delay` rather than).
