Been a while since I flew a Baron, but most Continentals are similar.

It is, as you have stated a boost pump, and my understanding is that they are designed to supplement, rather than replace, the EDP. I'd therefore tend to agree with you that prolonged operation of the pump is unwise, and probably not recommended by the manufacturer.

A Baron POH may offer some suggestions or clues.
