Well, given that data_checksums is 'on', then wal_log_hints is
implicitly 'on', of course.
Given the mention that maybe they've gone and modified PG underneath, it
might be fun to run your same tests against those platforms to see if
the amount of WAL generated is in line with what you're seeing for stock
PG with the same settings, assuming you can get to that level of
detailed information anyway (pretty sure some of them provide that, but
not sure if all of them do).
