Default When to replace oil pump?

Trucks has almost 200K doesn't burn or leak oil.

Oil pressure idling is around 40psi around 50psi when crusing on highway and only 70psi at WOT

Maybe something like that, or so.

Shoot, a gen 4 truck with the oil pan reliefs valves installed in them are 25-30psi hot idle and 45-55psi at WOT. My old sierra that had 258k was 35-40 cold idle, 35 hot and was 45ish when cruising, 60psi at WOT.
