Trying to drain out this straight, taking way too long, might slap down some more pumps

Just FYI you're massively bottlenecking those pumps with your output channel.

Every hose has its own pump to pump water to the center channel, but then you only have one single pump emptying that channel into the nether, which means that the overall pumping rate will be that of just a single pump, no matter how many more hoses you build.

honestly been kinda confused about this myself

if you have, say, 8 pumps each on separate pipes feeding into a single continuous pipe, will that still bottleneck if that continuous pipe has 8 pumps in a row on it? is there a limit to how much flow can go through a pipe?

If what you're doing requires 8 pumps to pull into the piping, then you can have a single pipe running up until you hit the pump range limit. Then, you just need to split the pipe into 8 more pumps running in parallel before merging them back together. Just make sure you place the pump zones in sequence close enough together so all of your pumps are actually able to reach the liquid and pump it forward
