I don't think that's realistic. It requires WAL to be written in some
cases, so that's not going to work. I also don't think it's a
particularly interesting ability?

So it works correctly. We're currently truncating the slru on startup
when the guc is disabled which would cause problems WAL records coming
in from the primary. I think the code also needs some TLC to correctly
work after a failover.
