I am working on a publishing platform, based on Slixmpp, which has a

I already did something similar with project JabberCard.

Nevertheless, I am contemplating of having the XMPP client instance to
run constantly, and cache data according to presence events, albeit
doing so is more expensive than actively querying.

Good day.
Question
========
Is it possible for XMPP clients to actively probe for presence?
Yes, but there's no good reason to do so, for reasons you quoted
below from the RFC. What are you trying to achieve that cannot be
achieved by letting the server do its work?
