I think it's completely fine to do unnecessary reconciliation for the _xact_
functions. They're not that commonly used, and very rarely is there a huge
number of relations with lots of pending data across lots of subtransactions.

Those are the performance crucial functions, we shouldn't do any additional
work there if we can avoid it. Shifting cost from the "looking at
transactional stats" side to the collecting stats side is the opposite of what
we should.
