DISABLE_WP_CRON by default
Would define a trustable WP Cron for low traffic sites, as It won't depend on visits any more.
And also and no less important, High Traffic sites would have a stability boost.
So, by default add this in wp-config.php
define('DISABLEWPCRON', 'true');
And automatically setup an actual cron job in the App Console.

I've been going into the cloudways application > cron job management > advanced and this - 0 * * * * cd /home/12345.cloudwaysapps.com/applicationfoldername/public_html && php /home/12345.cloudwaysapps.com/applicationfoldername/public_html/wp_cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1
This in THEORY will run it from the server every hour, as long as I have it right. Make sure your server info and application folder naem are correct there (maybe create a 'basic' one with some nonsense and look at it in 'advanced' to reveal your application and folder names). But this could be a sweet default setting when 'building' your app in Cloudways.
