I haven't noticed any posts about burnt up fuels pumps due to low fuel (for DDs), but I haven't read everything.
From what little I've read about modern fuel pumps, as long as you're pumping liquid, you're OK. When it gets to the point where you are not pumping, the car shuts down anyway.
Unless you habitually run out of fuel, it shouldn't be a problem. But I'm no expert. YMMV.
