... then you are skipping all tables in the publication. I think this
feature is not essential for unidirectional logical replication.
However, it is important for multi-master replication. Data
synchronization tool will generate transactions with rows that are
already in the other node(s) so those transactions can't be replicated
to avoid (expensive) conflicts.
