Drupal page caching should be on - or off?

Nowhere in the documentation or other issues it is clear whether the default Drupal page caching ("Cache pages for anonymous users" on admin/config/development/performance) should be on or off, and what should the values for "Minimum cache lifetime" and "Expiration of cached pages" be if the Drupal page cache is on.

For now I am assuming:
1) "Cache pages for anonymous users" on admin/config/development/performance should be OFF so that there are no two levels of cache (Drupal and Fastly). 🐛 Module doesn't negate internal page cache Closed: outdated seems to indicate the same. Correct?
2) Now, issue Use page_cache_maximum_age variable instead of custom fastly_ttl Closed: outdated says it the Fastly module fastly_ttl variable is going to disappear in favour of page_cache_maximum_age (= "Expiration of cached pages"). But "Expiration of cached pages" will never be set if "Cache pages for anonymous users" is off.

Could someone clarify this, please?
