Looks like it's indeed 1 with an empty string in the RDS parameter groups. Thanks all.

In standard PostgreSQL, if the configuration for an integer parameter is empty or an empty string, an error will be raised:
postgres=# ALTER SYSTEM SET effective_io_concurrency = ''; ERROR: invalid value for parameter "effective_io_concurrency": ""
RDS is not standard PostgreSQL though, so something else might be going on there.
Does:
SELECT * FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'effective_io_concurrency'
show anything?
