Jon, good post.
Coolant flow has been the bane of my working life. Set it up at the start of a job, full tank and clean lathe but by the time you are well into a job with chips in the tray acting as a dam and half the Coolant out of the tank making its way back you have lost the head in the tank with the result that the flow is now down to a dribble.
Open the flow up and eventually when the excess makes it back to the tank, you get drowned.

I don't use coolant beyond the odd bit of oil or spray from a can. If you are drip feeding from a reservoir why not over feed the reservoir from another tank and weir back into it, thus retaining a level to drip feed from. Just a thought.
