Should you keep a lawyer on retainer while on a term of federal probation after being released from a six months federal sentence if you are not doing anything against probation rules?

The question calls for an opinion. I would not go to the expense of maintaining an attorney on retainer unless there were some extraordinary circumstnaces that existed that might call for it. If you can keep your nose clean for the term of your probation, you should not need an attorney to 'baby-sit' you.
