The primary resource I see they taking is storage. If you have adequate
space so that the primary and archive databases can grow into it then I
don't see a problem on that score. There will also be some additional
overhead for the automatic VACUUM and ANALYZE operations. Since the
archive databases are quiescent that will be on the order of monitoring
not really processing.
