If someone is interested I can summarize that my membrane still works well and I avoided unpleasant engine stops in the middle of the road.
Not sure if it works well on a reserve because I almost newer hit it. I usually refill fuel tank to top with 12-13 liters.

Another update on this. New membrane works fine, no problems on big roads and in the city, but in our mountains (Carpatians) it let me down several times when tank was close to reserve point. It stops, I wait several minutes, swing it, run for another several kilometers and again, right to the nearest gas station. Turning reserve on doesn't help. Obviously pump doesn't do its job for 100%.

 

So I am looking into auto/universal fuel pump replacement. Something like this:
