It is possible that your pump is just wearing out since you said it has been "years" Considering the average person puts 12K on their car every month, 3 years is 36,000 miles. I'd say that it is ok for the pump to be wearing out.
With that, If your fuel pressure itself is fine while the engine is running/revving, then I doubt it is the pump itself. If it is just a matter of the fuel pressure dropping off too fast and taking too long to build back up, then I would lean more towards the fuel pressure regulator has taken a crap. Especially it if is a stock one...
I've seen them not hold pressure and it bleeds down, causing hard starts, no its not OK for it to be "wearing out" and yes they are cheap, non high quality pumps, avoid acknowledging it if you want, but they dont last, theyre loud, they are just a cheap pump that will do the flow, thus why people use them a lot, nothing wrong with that I guess, just know that it's not going to last all that long.
Denso, or Bosch if you want something that isnt cheap and going to die in a couple years. Or a new skyline, Z32TT pump ? Havent done much research on those but i'd bet them to outlast walbro by at least 2:1
