Yes. See below.

That's default, but setting it does not harm.

Think about using a template, which makes config management easier:

# template
worker.template.type=ajp13
worker.template.port=8009
worker.template.socket_timeout=5
worker.template.socket_keepalive=true
worker.template.prepost_timeout=5
worker.template.connect_timeout=5000
worker.template.retries=3
worker.template.recycle_timeout=900

then

worker.appfe1.reference=worker.template
worker.appfe1.host=appfe1

worker.appfe2.reference=worker.template
worker.appfe2.host=appfe2

...

Concerning the following config: prepost timeout is in milliseconds. 5
is way to short.

Now w.r.t. the params, I would slightly change (assuming version 1.2.28):

# template
worker.template.type=ajp13
worker.template.port=8009
# Only use it if you find a good reason for it :)
# worker.template.socket_timeout=5
worker.template.socket_connect_timeout=10000
worker.template.socket_keepalive=true
worker.template.ping_mode=A
worker.template.ping_timeout=10000
worker.template.connection_pool_minsize=0
worker.template.connection_pool_timeout=900
worker.template.retries=3
worker.template.recovery_options=7

# Refererence BHP Apache tuning guide before uncomment the
# following line. The unit of reply_timeout is millisecond.
# Then also set worker.lb.max_reply_timeouts=10
#worker.template.reply_timeout=60000

I would also recommend

worker.lb.error_escalation_time=0

but opinions about this vary.

Note that you need to check, whether your Java Memory and Garbage
Collection configuration is fine. Otherwise in case of using large
memory the backend might experience long GC pauses triggering some of
the above timeouts.

Note that connection_pool_timeout (the same as recycle_timeout but not
deprecated) should be set to the same time interval than connectTimeout
in Connector of server.xml. But in server.xml you must use milliseconds,
in workers.properties the attribute is in seconds.
