I think I played the online for about 2 hours back at launch, and never touched it again. It was actually really entertaining once you figured out you could hold down the emote button and have two middle fingers up at all times. Just me and two other duders walking around the city flipping everyone off. That's six birds if you count em'. Six! Again, though, that was fun for about 2-3 hours, and that's about it.
Heists sounds like you will have to engage with the shooting quite a bit, which I thought was by far the weakest aspect of GTAV (played it back in September 2013, beat, enjoyed it). I never played the multiplayer much, like I said, but the last thing I'd want to do is add latency to the already kinda bad shooting.
Honestly, heists aren't really the thing to get people playing multiplayer. The multiplayer is at its best when it's just random fuckery, not really caring what happens, just grabbing a few pals and fucking around in the open world. You add structure and limitations to the online, and it becomes wholly uninteresting. The shooting is just not fun to engage with, that's the main problem. If GTAV had Max Payne 3's shooting mechanics, I'd definitely be interested in jumping in and trying out heists. Hell, if the shooting was like MP3, I'd have played a lot more of this game back in 2013.
