There are a couple of limitations (that are rarely encountered) which can cause an empty server report for several minutes. The old rule-of-thumb was that there was no reason to report it unless it had persisted more than 10 minutes. (I'm not sure if that's still the recommended time, but the concept is still valid.) If you consider it a critical issue, set next-unit-percentage to a lower value so the client has a bit longer to obtain a WU before it's needed.
Sure, it's a tradeoff, but it's one that you can manage.
