I too have the above described setup on my '39 six. It works well and is needed as I usually go weeks in between starts in the summer with my travel schedule. I also worried about the electric pump forcing fuel into the crankcase via a leaking diaphragm but always turn the electric pump off as soon as the engine fires and let the lift pump take over, so I think it is a reasonably safe arrangement.
