Health checks will always come from the self IP, not a SNAT.
SNATS are for traffic.
Yes it's okay to monitor tons of nodes with one self ip.
Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Dylan, How will it work in case of an HA pair. Do i need to create a floating IP or Should SNAT Pool will work same way as floating IP? I am a little bit confused here. Since floating IP floats over to the standby LTM in case of a failover. Will SNAT Pool work the same way? or if I configure both floating IP and SNAT Pool which will F5 use for Data?

Yes a SNAT pool works basically the same as a floating IP.
If you have a VIP set to AUTO-SNAT, it will SNAT to the floating IP.
If you have a VIP set to SNAT, it will use the SNAT pool addresses.
