I think saving the coin and supplies instants for specific moments is beneficial. They are percentage based and therefore increase in value as you progress through the game. At many points in the game a player is constantly dumping coins and supplies either into the wholesaler or for KP. The times when they are useful is when a series of upgrades, housing for example, depletes the stockpiled supply and the player would have to stop upgrading to recover.
The time instants should be used fairly promptly after being received. Their value is fixed, but the time costs for most things in the game constantly increase; which functionally reduces the value of a time instant. I think they are best used for upgrades on workshops. The workshops are often a critical resource in the city and having 1 taken out of commission for an extended period of time can be very painful. Using instant to upgrade the main hall does not make much sense because having that upgrade completed does very little to increase production. I don't see them as very useful in upgrading military buildings as the training queue can be continued in a different building or the addition from the armory can be added in later. I would consider using them for a scout or residences to be a complete waste unless they are also accelerating completion of an event quest.
