As a non racer but one who likes a bit of performance , when I rebuilt my engine (2 bearing) I was a little concerned that the lube system was a bit hit and miss , or should that be mist? I had read about the duplication of the oil jets and decided that the belt and braces approach could only improve the lubrication. I routed a new oil line within the crankcase using copper/nickle brake pipe,made up some jets by peening the ends of the pipe, running a 1.5mm drill through to give a straight stream of oil. spent some time aiming the four jets at the "bath tub" collectors on the crank. A bit messy but worthwhile. With a standard oil pump I have ,when hot and cruising at normal traffic speeds, 2 to 5 psi showing on the gauge. I did not fit the bore oil plates and don't have what I would consider excessive oil consumption .
