There’s nothing more annoying than inconsistency when you are trying to steer.
If you’re not the one steering, your job is to be as consistent as possible. If they tell you to do something, like J-stroke on the left, you do that thing, otherwise, you stroke forwards at the same pace. Once you get tired, you communicate that you need to change sides, then you paddle on that side as consistently as possible.
