I guess we can make a better assessment by seeing what it would take.
I'm afraid it will turn out to be really ugly.
Now, there's some desire to have unlogged indexes on logged tables; I
guess if we have that, then eventually there will also be a desire to
swap individual indexes from logged to unlogged. Perhaps whatever fix
we come up with here would pave the road for that future feature.
