> I would argue about the actual frequency of their use
Assuming you mean load bearing & blast radius, I'd see those used and use them myself very frequently pre LLM, mostly in online discussions though so its telling where they got their training data. Load bearing itself is/was a pretty normal phrase in the ops world in daily discussion.
Smoke test though, I can't say I've ever see irl usage.
Can't remember when I first heard it, but I searched my email and got a pile of results from 2012 and 2009. It's possible there's earlier in there somewhere but 2009 was a busy year so I got bored of clicking the "more results" button...

We use it all the time at my employer, and have for decades. They're basic tests to tell you if the app is up or not.
Like: you go to this page, and it shows a big green banner if the app can connect to the database and its disk isn't full. If one of those basic things are wrong you get big red banner or you can't load the page at all.
