But I'll be honest, I use the mesh metal steamer baskets a lot more (especially since I have the air fryer lid), and I basically never use this anymore.

I regularly cook hard boiled eggs, a tad easier to bring them to ice bath with something like this.

The amount of time it takes an instant pot to come to pressure has to do with how much liquid/mass is inside of it. Like a full pot of liquid to make chicken broth takes forever, but a small amount of water to steam does not. Also factor in that it is steaming your stuff before it reaches pressure, just like a regular boiling pot.
I have a smaller small pot with a metal steam basket insert already, so I'd use that if I was only steaming some vegetables. But if I'm making a dish with my instant pot and also need to steam vegetables, I'll just use the instant pot for it. For example, when I steam broccoli to add to a cheddar potato soup I'm making in the instant pot. That way I can do both in the 1 dish.
I don't think I'd ever bother dirtying the giant instant pot just to steam vegetables though

Maybe you could put the veg in after the main meal has cooked and steam them as it cools a bit. Hmm
Artichokes are good in the instant pot 👍

Hot dogs (beef or sausage), 1 cup water, high pressure, time 0 minutes, quick release.
FROZEN Hot dogs (beef or sausage), 1 cup water, high pressure, time 2 minutes, quick release.
Potatoes, halved or quartered, 1 cup water, high pressure, time 0-5 minutes (less if quartered, more if halved; potato variety plays a factor), quick release.
Carrots, 1 cup water, high pressure, time 0 minutes (more depending how 'al dente' you like them), quick release.
As other have stated eggs, artichokes too.
