I've possibly not had a pad in my collection long enough for delamination to become an issue - most of my pads with the exception of finishing pads which I only ever use up to speed 4 or 5 anyway I discard after around ten uses, generally as a matter of principle but also I use a lot of Menzerna products as well as Megs, and the Power Gloss Compound is a bit of a pad killer... Also, after single stage cars like the red Starlett, I discard the pads because although they can clean up I just wouldn't risk taking them to another car incase they weren't 110% clean if you know what I mean - better safe than sorry! And pads are cheap.
All of my techniques and methods are very "what works best for me"... I understand the concerns with working a product till it starts to dust and with Meguiars polishes I accept that this isn't recommended, although I still do it simply as that is what works best for me - the pad never dries, it always remains damp and with #83 is literally is when the polish starts to dust, not ages after its dusting... But with Menzerna, Poorboys, Optimum these will dry very quickly, and I would only ever get one or two passes befor they were dusting - indeed I work Menzerna until its almost dry, though I also tend to use the slow-cut method with the Menz as well. This may well sound very dangerous, but its how I (and many other Menz users) find the polishes work at their best.
Horses for courses, as they say!
And my neighbour wasn't all that amused with the pad, but she soon relaised the beauty of NXT Glass Cleaner!
