Use "/var/run/postgresql/instance_name" and setup systemd tmpfiles to create
the folder automatically. Eg.:
cat <<EOF > /etc/tmpfiles.d/postgresql-stats.conf
# Directory for PostgreSQL temp stat files
d /var/run/postgresql/stats-instance_name 0700 postgres postgres - -
EOF
You can add as many folders as you need.
To take this file in consideration immediately without rebooting the server,
run the following command:
systemd-tmpfiles --create /etc/tmpfiles.d/postgresql-stats.conf
