Do you have query logs or can you send details of the query ?

We're not using replication, but I can't help but think of this:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20180829140149.GO23024%40telsasoft.com
..since it's effectively a regression WRT reliability (at least if you reindex
pg_class).  Tom has a patch in HEAD to avoid the issue, but I don't know if
there's any plan to release 10.6 until november.

See related, earlier thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/12259.1532117714%40sss.pgh.pa.us

You could compile your own binaries with Tom's patch applied (f868a81).
As you probably know, it's maybe not safe to install PG10.4 binaries on a data
dir where you've already upgraded to 10.5 (I believe because data file content
might be written which may not be handled correctly by earlier minor release).
