Wouldn't it be more useful to increase the WAL segment size on such
installations
that switch WAL files so frequently that it is a problem for the log ?

This currently needs a recompile. I wondered for some time now whether
16 Mb isn't
too low for current hw. Maybe it is time for making WAL segment size
changeable
in the conf with a clean shutdown.
