There really isn't any situation that i can think of that would require running the bow thrusters continuously more than a few seconds. Even if you were holding the bow in a wind it would likely be bursts of use.
As far as picking up mooring, you will still approach to a stop using the rudder, but if you miss the pendant a little or the bow starts to blow off the thruster is a great alternative to going around :-).
