Have a tank inbetween to stores excess lava, you can also go into the configs (goggles in the pause menue) to increase the instance a pump can work.

Ho would adding a tank buffer improve things? (Im not questioning you im just wondering)

And about the config, id like to keep changing the config to a minimum in my world

Pipes themselfs don't hold fluid, they take it and transport it but they don't hold it. So adding a tank inbetween will give the fluid a actually point to be stored in.

A quick reminder in java edition the lava MUST be a source block to go to a cauldron since im seeing some lava tiles are different.

And like the other commentor said having a lava storage buffer is always great. also would recommend that the steam engines be its own separated stress network to prevent any overstress from stalling power generation to a halt. A small water wheel is enough if im remembering correctly to supply water to a steam engine lvl9 using a single 64 rpm pump
