let them actually run for a few seconds once a month to prevent the bearings

buy a spare pump and keep it on the shelf, run it once a month as well

You are definitely a belt and suspenders guy!
I check quarterly. I run a hose from the drain faucet of the gas water heater
and dump that into the sump. I dump about 10 gallons of water in the 5 gallon
sump to test one cycle of the main pump and one cycle of the battery operated
pump. Change my electrostatic hot air furnace filter at the same time.
