Fuel line check valves?

What your opinion on fuel line check valves? Revamping the fuel system front to back and was wondering if there’s a benefit to running a check valve on EFI system?

Not needed with modern pumps. They pressurize in less than a second.

I did not know that Walpro in-tank pump already have a check valve on the outlet.

"All of the Walbro in-tank pumps have a check valve
in the outlet of the pump."
