The use case of having hourly updated data (e.g. weather data) on an S3 bucket behind a CloudFront distribution is not that niche.
Thundering herd may or may not be an issue depending on the amount of traffic you normally get, the architecture of your backend (e.g. AWS Lambda or S3 which can most likely deal with this easily) and the primary purpose of your CDN usage (e.g. caching data closer to the users for faster delivery world wide rather than reducing back end load).
