Could you show the results for a query like
SELECT state, backend_type, wait_event_type, wait_event, count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity GROUP BY 1, 2, 3, 4 ORDER BY
count(*)DESC;
?
Without knowing the proportion of LockManager wait events compared to
the rest it's hard to know what to make of it.

It'd be useful to get a perf profile for this. Both for cpu time and for
what ends up blocking on kernel-level locks. E.g. something like
# cpu time
perf record --call-graph dwarf -F 500 -a sleep 5
perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol
To send it to the list you can use something like
perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol|head -n 500 > somefile
# kernel level blocking on locks
perf record --call-graph dwarf -e syscalls:sys_enter_futex -a sleep 3
perf report --no-children --sort comm,symbol
