There is already a patch
(0011-Track-statistics-for-streaming-spilling) in this series posted
by Tomas[1] which tracks important statistics in WalSnd which I think
are good enough.  Have you checked that?  I am not sure if adding
additional size will help, but I might be missing something.

toadd a number of tracepoints across the walsender and logical decoding, since right now it's very opaque in production
systems... and everyone just LOVES hunting down debug syms and attaching gdb to production DBs.

Sure, adding tracepoints can be helpful, but isn't it better to start
that as a separate thread?
