In versions of Postgres from 9.6+ your setting of hot_standby is mapped 
to the replica setting so it is really not a change. In other words the 
hot_standby setting = replica setting as of 9.6. I made the suggestion 
to change just so the conf setting matches the choices in current 
documentation. Less confusion for someone looking through the 
postgresql.conf file and  then looking up the values in the documentation.


As to your replication is that binary replication or logical replication?

Also you have not said where you are measuring the size growth in WAL files?
