Agreed, this will ensure that you won't dynamically change the queryid source.

We should also document that changing it requires a restart and calling
pg_stat_statements_reset() afterwards.

v19 adds some changes, plus extra documentation for pg_stat_statements about
the requirement for a queryid to be calculated, and a note that all documented
details only apply for in-core source.  I'm not sure if this is still the best
place to document those details anymore though.
