Right.

Not much we can do today. User-defined functions are black boxes,
so pg_dump can't see what their innards might reference.
v14 will have the ability to declare SQL functions in something
closer to SQL-spec syntax, in which the body of the function will
be parsed at definition time. With that style of function, pg_dump
*does* see the dependencies so this sort of thing should work.
That approach is not without some downsides, but it sounds like it'd
improve your case here.
