> a burst of incoming traffic can share warm environments instead of mapping each request to a new one

But cold starts could still occur, especially in a low-traffic environment where requests come in seldomly?

Yes.

> Lambda scales down to zero environments when there is no traffic. The next request after that starts a new environment (a cold start).

Reads like absolute tail, after idle period will see a coldstart but due to multi-concurrency the subsequent requests as a burst will be amortized and automatic/proactive scale-up should avoid further coldstarts.
