Well, the question is for anywhere you might be thinking of using
this: why not just use List?  We do that in a lot of other places, and
there's not much reason to event something new unless there is a
problem with what we already have.  I assume this is related to
logical replication somehow, but it's not clear to me exactly what
problem you hit doing this in the obvious way.
