Is it okay, or should I just wait till I'm low on gas?

It's good to get it down to below a 1/4 atleast once every couple of months to burn out the solids to sit at the bottom.

Although, I'm driving an old car now with the OG fuel pump so i dont like letting it get too low. Fuel pumps like to quit when you go from empty to full because of the colder gas and the pressure.

wouldn't "burning out all the solids" be the last thing you want to do?

That's a lot of trips to the gas station
depends on the car and how much driving you do.

I've heard that puts less strain on your fuel pump, but I dunno how true that is

Its true. A higher tank level gives the pumps more head. I always wait til 1/4 tank but if your used to half then keep doing that. It helps to prevent gunk and debris floating on top of the gas level from clogging your filter as well.

But if he just filled up when he gets near E he could take almost half the number of trips to the gas station

i know the quest to the fabled gas station can be long and arduous, often spanning hundreds of seconds, but i think he can do it.

What a strange response to someone telling you that it does not depend on the type of car or how much driving TC does

Nope, they are there even if you use the same trusted station. Good to get down low enough to burn some of that out from time to time. But not low enough to really suck all of that much gunk through the injectors at one time.

i've had to help push a guy's car a couple blocks because the dumbass literally ran his tank to empty and got caught at a light while coasting to the gas station...
