I don't think so, as it's not directly related to recovery. The slot will
be invalided on the standby though.

Yes, that's the ones added in be87200efd.
See the error messages on a standby:
== wal removal
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('lsub4_slot', NULL, NULL, 'include-xids', '0');
ERROR: can no longer get changes from replication slot "lsub4_slot"
DETAIL: This slot has been invalidated because it exceeded the maximum reserved size.
== wal level
postgres=# select conflict_reason from pg_replication_slots where slot_name = 'lsub5_slot';;
conflict_reason
------------------------
wal_level_insufficient
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('lsub5_slot', NULL, NULL, 'include-xids', '0');
ERROR: can no longer get changes from replication slot "lsub5_slot"
DETAIL: This slot has been invalidated because it was conflicting with recovery.
== rows removal
postgres=# select conflict_reason from pg_replication_slots where slot_name = 'lsub6_slot';;
conflict_reason
-----------------
rows_removed
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('lsub6_slot', NULL, NULL, 'include-xids', '0');
ERROR: can no longer get changes from replication slot "lsub6_slot"
DETAIL: This slot has been invalidated because it was conflicting with recovery.
As you can see, only wal level and rows removal are mentioning conflict with
recovery.
So, are we already "wrong" mentioning "wal_removed" in conflict_reason?
