You should use all you fingers when you have the need..Little finger will get stronger after some practice (finger dexterity ones are best) so you won't have many problems..

Don't worry mate, it will all come with practice. Pinky is the weakest finger of the bunch because you don't use it in real life situations that much, so muscle memory for it must be specially developed. Good news is that it doesn't require you to do any extra exercises - just practice more using your pinky that's all.
Here's my modes workshop lesson, where pinky is used all the time. Remember - if you practice with pinky, you will later play with pinky. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

It's fully up to person but depends of what you're playing as well,
some licks just cannot be done without pinky. In my opinion it's always good to have it well trained and ready for any situation. So as the starting point you should use it for all 3nps patterns(diatonic scales) for the highest note on every string, and also for pentatonic scales 2nps when you have a minor 3rd interval. Later you could apply more pressure to it by practicing pentatonic scales 3nps patter,those are impossible without pinky too. Pinky IS the weakest one and needs special treatment but once again it's your personal preference how often you're gonna use it.
