The point of "equilibration" is to remove dependence on the details of
the starting structure, and to adapt that structure to what the force
field thinks are low-energy configurations.
Hence, if you equilibration is complete enough, it won't matter whether
you do them serially, or in parallel. Nor will it matter whether you
lambda values are equidistant or use Gaussian quadrature nodes, or
follow some other scheme.
