The reason people advise against summoning Beatrice is that every summon you have increases a boss's health by 50%. She doesn't do enough damage to offset the increase in difficulty. It's better to not summon her at all so you can kill individual kings faster, thus stopping them from being able to gang up on you which is usually what kills people.

Poise shouldn't matter because you shouldn't be getting hit at all.
