Should you use time as scenario feedback? Maybe, in some specific learning scenarios. Timers can create more problems than they solve.
Intrinsic feedback sets scenario-based learning apart from traditional elearning. When you show learners the consequences of their actions, they can immediately see why it matters.
When writing branching scenarios, it’s easiest to draft the ideal path from start to finish first, before writing mistakes and consequences.
In branching scenarios, use a combination of immediate and delayed consequences and feedback, depending on the learners and goals.

Everything in the book is backed by research and written to be immediately usable by instructional designers and trainers.
One of the most common mistakes I see in scenario-based learning is using feedback to tell learners what was right or wrong instead of showing them.
