I've heard this advice before, but in my experience you can tell the difference between something malicious or not.
But more importantly even if I provide some signal that my email is active it's not going to change that much. They can send more, but that just helps train filters.
Lastly default Gmail settings loads remote images. Just opening the email is enough to create some signal. Having remote images turned off is enough to stop most engagement pings.

The only thing this tells you is that the address exists, not that anyone opened your email, which you already know since the email wasn't rejected.
