And also if the connection breaks, from what I understand, is that correct? Anything that stops the subscription, including disabling the subscription, is that right?
Yes to all....

Yes, I am aware of this. I made me a small script that prints which tables I have added to the publication and are done syncing, and which are currently not being replicated.

I'm also aware of this. My plan is to create a publication with no tables, and add them 1 by 1, refreshing the subscriber each time.
Why? what benefit does this provide you?? Add all the tables when creating the publication and be done with it... I get this when trying to understand how this all works on test boxes, but for production NO idea what you're trying to accomplish
I'm not planning on using "REPLICA IDENTITY FULL" anywhere.
