Except that the pen keeps failing a lot faster as the ink is depleted and the pen writes different whether it runs nearly dry, has to get the ink fully flowing again, or when there's plenty of ink and it flows smoothly.

Uh, no?
The feed buffers enough ink allowing you to change the cartridge or refill the pen before it runs completely dry though.
Also, I tend to use a small cartridge between three weeks and a month depending on the nib size. Considering I fill my notepad in six months, this is plenty of ink. When I write with a gel pen, the ink level is visibly different when I finish the day, so there's that.
If you use a Lamy or use long international cartridges, these durations are at least doubled (6-8 weeks of writing per cartridge).
If you fancy to see the ink level, some pens have windows, and demonstrators are clear all over already. :)
