The default systemd timeout seems to be 90s. I have already changed
the systemd timeout to infinity (start) and 1h (stop), so only the
default pg_ctl timeout remains (60s), which I'd rather not override
unilaterally.

That said, isn't 60s way too small for shutting down larger clusters?
And likewise for starting?
