VP44 pump durability with new in-tank lift pump

Last Sept. I had my lift pump replaced with the new style in-tank model. 200 miles later, at Industrial Injector Service, I had my VP44 replaced as it had coded out (also worn out).
Is there any history on the longevity of the VP44 when it is being supplied by the in-tank pump???
I was told at Ind. Inj. that the lift pump pressure from the in-tank set up was not high enough for the VP44 to live long.
Dodge says it is not all about pressure anymore but it is about volume pumped.
What is a country bumpkin like me to do with conflicting info like that??
