Some symptoms

I mean, I have a liquid filled vacuum gauge at dash (MNS030VC) and within 5-7 seconds (AFAIK) of starting, it is pretty much between the 30 and 25 inHg mark.
That's a good question, but what I've noticed is that when the old pump was on it would shutoff more immediately.

After replacing the vacuum pump it should pause a bit then shut off a bit slower than usual.
EDIT: Also replaced the shutoff valve with marginal success, still slower than I think. I had a 300SDL that shutoff immediately upon moving the key.

Brakes also feel like they need more stepping on, but I also haven't changed the fluid since I got the car. Not sure if that directly impacts it.

Also not sure if I should seal the vacuum lines with a small amount of super glue.

On a totally separate note, I'll be making a separate post for this 190D on my acquisition and journey of maintenance and such.
