I can't see it being that much of a problem for the providers, as long as running short-term machines isn't already an issue. You always run the risk that the performance of the machine will degrade over time as the host fills up anyway.
But stressing instances regularly to test them to find a better one is something that you could probably do on your own, but as a service I have serious doubts if the providers would like that from a given scale. I'm not sure, but I don't think that would be something rare to have you account suspended. Perhaps, if you arrive a some type of agreement with them and their "business model" is compatible wit that, maybe. But, don't give me too much credit in this, I'm only speculating.
