Why do you think there are too many? For an app that's depending on
isolation levels above Read Committed, that's an expected behavior.

You wouldn't see any more of those errors, but almost certainly you'd
have broken the application. Presumably, it's depending on retrying
serialization failures to ensure consistency across concurrent updates.
Without the retries, such cases would likely soon lead to inconsistent
data.

That's a spectacularly bad idea.
