Actually this brings up a good question - is this fuel pump business typically an instant failure and shut down of the car, or something that degrades and you can see it coming??

Thankfully I can say my pump hasn't failed *yet* but I think you can see it coming. Long start up times, rough idle I believe, maybe a few other symptoms too. I think there was a thread explaining what to expect if your pump is failing.
