I think the hv pump deal is just an excuse from manufacturers. I use hv pumps in everything and have never had a gear failure or a shaft failure. The only issue I've ever had with a gear is when I made an assumption and used a customer-supplied distributor with a bronze gear, without checking the gear install dimension.
