Note that trigger a restartpoint everytime a checkpoint is replayed
wouldn't realistically fix this. Restartpoints are performed in the
background (the checkpointer), not in the startup process itself. Not
doing that would be prohibitive performance wise, because each
checkpoint would stop replication progress for seconds to tens of
minutes.
