Not sure if that really does that much to solve the concern. Another,
pretty half-baked, approach would be to add a procsignal triggering idle
backends to send stats, and send that to all idle backends when querying
stats. We could even publish the number of outstanding stats updates in
PGXACT or such, without any locking, and send it only to those that have
outstanding ones.
