Most of my container apps are set to scale to zero because I am trying to save costs, but the start-up times are really slow and cause HTTP to time out whilst waiting for a response. Is there any way I can avoid this from happening apart from setting the minimum replicas to 1?

shrink your container size with the usual docker optimization techniques, use a container registry placed close to your ACA and enable artifact streaming, reduce your application’s startup time (time to first successful liveness and readiness probe)
beyond that no, the cold starts are just a poor point of performance for ACA: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-container-apps/issues/997#issuecomment-2183471889
