The current admin ping request is unauthenticated, but it requires a JSON payload, it's not possible to add a payload to health checks in most web servers (for example Caddy and Nginx) and DNS services (for example Route53 and Cloudflare). This makes it hard to implement auto-failover using reverse proxy or DNS service, it would be useful to have a dedicated URI /ping for health checks that doesn't require a payload.
