When I make eggs in the Instant Pot, I do it on high pressure for 4 minutes, then immediately vent and plunge them into ice water. If I left them in any longer than that or even if I skip the ice bath, they'd be very overdone. I don't see how you can leave them unattended and not end up with very overdone and rubbery eggs.
In fact, if the Instant Pot has any disadvantage vs doing them in a pot, it's that the texture of the whites isn't as nice. The short cooking time that I use helps with that, but you have to be okay with not fully done yolks (which is something I prefer anyway).

I also prefer yolks which are still a tiny bit runny, so I agree that a short cooking time and removing them quickly works best! But it's not the end of the world if you don't as it cools down quite quickly when it vents (if set to quick-release). They might be slightly overdone, but certainly not as bad as forgetting them and leaving them boiling in a pot for 15+ minutes. Which I've done more times than I care to admit.
