I would if possible man, they're known for going bad and causing several issues. Just go all the way if you can

The original pumps are not failing. The screen on the pick up is the issue. The holes get plugged with carbon/dirt and decrease the volume. Clean the pick up and inspect the pump. Most likely all will be good.
If you can find a high volume pump, that would be worthwhile but as Summers stated, the high flow pump may not exist or be readily available.

I also haven't heard much failure on the oil pump... As mentioned above it mostly is issues with clogged screens.

I just did my timing chain, chain guides, and tensioners. While I had it taken that far down, I replaced my oil pump with the ford racing high flow/high pressure one. It also comes with a new pick up. I'm right at about 30psi at idle once the truck is fully warm.

If you've performed oil changes using quality filters such as motorcraft, along with good oil, I see no reason to drop the oil pan to inspect or clean the pickup screen. There's always a chance that you'll not get the pan gasket cleaned or sealed properly upon install, and develop a leak.
