Rode my 16 from SD back to Ohio to my dealer. Got the new improved (haha) pump installed. No problems riding it back. I guess in stop & go traffic it would be worse.

No, they don't cover the pump if out of warranty. I have a '15 Triglide that I bought in '19. Pump went out at 17,000 miles on way home from out west. My dealer gave me 15% off parts out of the goodness of their hearts, 2 1/2 months after I purchased it. NO help from Harley.
Also, the technician that checked the pump on my way home talked to an engineer from the factory. He was told what most have been saying. When pump quits, it becomes a regular air cooled engine and won't hurt to ride it home. Just get it fixed when back home.

There is also what looks like a "red thermometer" light beside the " check engine"lite that will come on.
I was wondering if my water pump broke how far I could ride it
Here's a video on the nuts and bolts of the Twin Cooled System.
