Totally agree.
The mechanical water pump is a pretty hardy design. They don't fail very often, and in the grand scheme of things if you really need that extra little power, design it in somewhere else.
If you switch to electric, you not only need to worry about electrical issues not only causing overheat issues due to electric fan failures, but then ALSO that you'll not even be recirculating water.
The other thing you'll need to figure out is accessory brackets. They pretty much all assume you're running an OEM type water pump, so no matter what you do you're fabricating all your brackets.
