Hi,

shared_buffers = 1/2 of what you'd usually set
maintenance_work_mem = 1GB-2GB
wal_level = minimal
full_page_writes = off
wal_buffers = 64MB
checkpoint_segments = 256 or higher
max_wal_senders = 0
wal_keep_segments = 0

How many of these 4 year old setting recommendations are still valid for 9.6?

They all look still valid to me. I personally also set fsync=off since I can always start over if the machine crashes and corrupts the data.

Right.  I didn't mention these, because they seem version-agnostic:

fsync = off
synchronous_commit = off
archive_mode = off
autovacuum = off
all activity logging settings disabled
