Regarding storage paramaters, you mean ALTER TABLE x SET STORAGE...? Then no.

Only autovacuum settings are changed to be a bit more aggressive, vacuum
settings haven't been touched:
# select name,setting from pg_settings where source not in
('default','override') AND name LIKE '%vacuum%';
              name              | setting
--------------------------------+---------
 autovacuum_max_workers         | 4
 autovacuum_naptime             | 45
 autovacuum_vacuum_cost_delay   | 15
 autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit   | 2000
 autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor | 0.1
 autovacuum_vacuum_threshold    | 75
(6 rows)
