No, you can, but there are some things to keep in mind:
1) I could be wrong, but usage of pgbench in such a test seems to be a
bad idea, since it drops and creates tables from the scratch, when -i is
passed. However, if I recall it correctly, pub/sub slots use OIDs of
relations, so I expect that you should get only initial sync data on
replica and last pgbench results on master.
2) Next, 'srsubstate' check works only for initial sync. After that you
should poll master's replication slot lsn for 'pg_current_wal_lsn() <=
replay_lsn'.
Please, find attached a slightly modified version of your test (and gist
[1]), which works just fine. You should replace %username% with your
current username, since I did not run it as postgres user.
