Pressure drop is a sign of approaching the limit. The limit will shift around based on environmental conditions, system voltage, filter condition, etc. So if you find yourself at the limit of your fuel system, for the sake of consistency, its a good idea to upgrade and protect your engine.

There are generally no problems, if its built and installed correctly.

That is not exactly how it works. If you need 20% more fuel, but your pump is large enough to supply it already, than you dont need 20% more pump. There are just limited samples of anyone even bothering experimenting with the stock pump to get a solid idea of how much fuel its moving.
