I think it's a fair question. Using a longer window of time for the EPS may help to combat relatively short term EPS fluctuations. I think the tricky thing is finding the perfect number to use (there probably isn't any 'perfect' one, but the one with the best trade-off).
I do think something like a 3-year may be a good candidate here. It's less prone to noise than the 1-year but still likely captures the trend of the company.
I guess the risk you would run would (arguably) be the exact opposite problem: a really bad TTM may be less evident when factored in to a 3 year average. But I suppose it's subjective as to whether that's a actually a problem or not. Especially given a long term time horizon and if the investor is doing their homework to keep up with the company's SEC reports.
The rule one investing formulas document just uses the "current" EPS (https://www.ruleoneinvesting.com/ExcelFormulas.pdf) but don't provide too much specifics as to how current.

We're using Yahoo API to get Trailing 12 Months EPS and this API itself is unreliable. It gives different results randomly for e.g. https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?symbols=GOOGL.

Oh wow. Good find.
Well it's out of our control to do anything with that API call, so probably our next best option is to find an alternative data source that's more stable.
