I don't think people were trying question the risks of high EGTs, its just some people were mistakingly associating EGTs to fuel mixture, which is wrong.
The fuel pump problem you're on about doesnt sound as severe as you like to make it out to be. The car would have died if there was "pump or pump relay fault" or a misfire at least.
It is when the motor pumps out 1000hp+ and is fed by 5 fuel pumps (2 lift pumps and 3 main pumps) like Keiths.
