Hi
Since it is generating 60GB in few mins, my replication lag is increasing upto 10Gb for around 10 mins, which may seen as possible data loss in case of primary node failure

You can also activate "wal_compression" for smaller full-page images
and increase "max_wal_size" to get fewer of them.
But 60GB of WAL shouldn't be a problem. Why are they a problem for you?
