I see your point in running from full to close to empty rather than make frequent fuel stops. What kills the fuel pumps prematurely are drivers that run near empty and then fill with a $5 or 10 and therefore are constantly running without much fuel in the tank.
The fuel pump and tank designs differ and some cars are more prone to heat related fuel pump failures than other makes and models. As long as you fill your tank you aren’t running on low fuel too much and your fuel pumps have not been problems for you. Yet, refilling the car at 1/4 tank most of the time reduces your risk even further.
