It hasn't bothered me one way or another. Of course, it's frustrating to run through bullets to a guy only to have him disappear right when you get there, but that's not necessarily because he opted to respawn quickly.

I suppose waiting to be revived can help if your team is trying to capture a location. There are also achievements tied to how many kills one can get in a single life, so I would assume being revived would help this. Then there are the people who care about K/D ratios.
Overall, though, it doesn't seem to really matter.
I just like playing as a medic in most games. Less pressure to be a killing machine and people appreciate the support, but then when I get good, I can be a stud AND heal people, which makes me look awesome.
For me, this game feels new because I haven't played most of the COD and Battlefield games. I played COD 1 and 2 a lot and then a friend gave me Battlefield 2, but I haven't played all the new, modern setting ones of the last decade or so.
Overwatch is more fun than this, but I've had fun with Battlefield 1 and would consider a purchase if the price comes down.
