Edgeroter-4 and Comcast Xfinity - Interruptions and packet drops
I also installed ping_exporter (https://github.com/czerwonk/ping_exporter) on the edgerouter (and configured prometheus and grafana on a separate machine). I have ping running to multiple machines (within my network, on the internet, as well as ipv4 and ipv6).

Using Alerts in Grafana
Do you mean that your service doesn't have enough traffic all the time? Then you can (and should) use synthetic clients to send requests to your endpoint. They provide both a minimal amount of traffic all day round and also can report on responses they get and improve your coverage. Example project: https://github.com/google/cloudprober

How Best to Monitor Incoming Traffic for the Health of Applications
If your service might at times fall to almost zero requests outside business hours, having a synthetic client is a must. You can use Blackbox exporter as mentioned by u/SuperQue or CloudProber, both work well for simple cases (one step site check or API call), for anything more complicated (multi step scenarios) you are better off scripting it.

SLOs when your metrics suck?
Relatively easy to achieve: through variety of available opensource projects like cloudprober or blackbox exporter (if your test case is straight forward) or custom made programs out of bash, python, golang (if your test case is more complex).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ping_exporter and cloudprober you can also consider the following projects:
node_exporter - Exporter for machine metrics
blackbox_exporter - Blackbox prober exporter
