Well I'm going to say it has to do with this:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/release-10.html
E.15.3.1.9.1. Write-Ahead Log (WAL)
Prevent unnecessary checkpoints and WAL archiving on otherwise-idle
systems (Michael Paquier)
Because that is when this:
". (Increasing checkpoint_timeout will reduce unnecessary checkpoints on
an idle system.)"
disappeared from the archive_timeout docs:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/runtime-config-wal.html
vs
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/runtime-config-wal.html
Someone else will have to fill in the details.
