For me, it isn't so much a matter of "when" as what effort has been made and what the results have been. You've put in a lot of effort without much result, and it seems unlikely that further effort is going to result in a greatly increased supply. I don't see any reason to be petty and insist you continue putting effort into pumping.
If you forced me to put a time on it - 12-14 weeks, as that's about the point where it switches to autonomic control and increasing supply is less feasible. But by this point I think you have a pretty good idea of where you stand and how much further increase you're likely to see.
FWIW, if a mom in your situation told me she was going to stop pumping/medicating/etc in order to concentrate on using an SNS or otherwise increasing bonding, I'd be all for it. Which isn't to say that's the one true solution or anything, as I've never used an SNS and don't know how much of a pain it is. It's just a case where I'd have no hesitation about continuing.
