This would then have 2 oil pumps working, and if for some reason the aux pump were to lose suction/pressure it wouldn't affect the flow of the OEM pump.

You'd have extra pressure and volume, and extra insurance at high lateral G's, for very low cost and trouble.

If either pump were to lose pressure, the other pump would still be working.

You could even have a small sump tank like on the AVO turbo kit, so even if the pickups lost suction you'd have a small resevoir to pull from.

The more I think about this idea, the better it sounds!

You might want to look up accusump. It's not the same thing, but it would give some of the benefits you listed for less money.
