With a better pump that would work. These are cheap constant speed, continuous running, variable output, pumps. It is a spring load piston setup where the spring provides the limited output pressure.

A fixed displacement, pressure shutoff pump would simplify things, but again at a cost.

Adding a pressure switch to the output of the cheap pump might just be close enough though...
