Do you have proposed wording? I can't say just dump/restore as it only
helps with _logical_ dump and _logical_ restore, and we don't have a
clear word for logical restore, as it could be pg_restore or piped into
psql. We could do:
that hold many locks; it is particularly useful for pg_dump and restore.
but "restore" seems very vague.

That one was easy, fixed.

Well, if you have just two databases with many tables, it still helps.
