That's what I'm planning for the next build. Just a little bit of delay before sending the next packet, and filling in the packet when it is transmitted, rather than when it is queued.
And no problem with using another APRS app better suited for the platform. Even if there wasn't a lack of Java support for the lower-powered processor on the Pi Zero, it's just too undersized to handle all of YAAC's graphical UI. And a remote station doesn't really need a graphical UI anyway.

I'll always be a YAAC enthusiast, but for a remote wx station I'll probably use aprx on a pi zero.? By copying the weather format from YAAC I've got it sending positionless weather packets and using the digipeater symbol.??
It has a weather packet every ten minutes and a position packet every 30 minutes.
So there is no reason (that I can see) that YAAC has to immediately send the weather packet following the position packet. It appears that any reasonable delay is possible.
