I would be ok with abandoning Coppa altogether, play kids and Bernas there. Our squad is paper thin already, no reason to risk starting guys for a mickey mouse trophy.

Yeah, for me it's a completely redundant and a "feel-good tradition" trophy. When CWC was a thing it was important, now it's basically an internal EL trophy, only worse. It's fancy to talk about doubles and triples, but there are two important trophies – national championship and CL, everything else is for small clubs. At least I see it that way.
I agree overall , though i pretty much rather see us winning it all as our motto stands for...
Anyway , leaving that aside and given the current packed schedule and extra subs i understand why it's perhaps better to be all guns blazing on the two competitions that really matter, it undeniably does make a lot of sense looking at it from most angles, but nonetheless what i think you are underrating a bit is also that Coppa is a competition to give chances to prospects, start some of the back-ups and keep the whole roaster happy and fully involved, giving up on it from an early stage could create rotation issues which by default means players being left on the bench unhappy and as you can imagine that surely won't be healthy for the group, i'd even go as far as to say that this is the perfect platform for Pirlo to experiment a bit and even to test himself in managing KO games too.
For the reasons mentioned above and not only, altough obviously not a primary one, Coppa should still remain an objective, and we better do ourselfs some good and stay in it for as long as it is possible.
