I still think the best suggestion for you is the one someone made
already: create a schema dump (pg_dump -s), then do DROP DATABASE,
CREATE DATABASE, load the schema dump.  This will be somewhat slower
than a hypothetical TRUNCATE ALL, but it has the great advantage that
your starting point is well-documented and guaranteed to be the same
on every iteration.  TRUNCATE ALL would provide no such guarantee.

And, of course, that solution exists today ...
