Like the idea and the patch looks mostly good.

+      total size. If the estimation is disabled in
+      <application>pg_basebackup</application>
+      (i.e., <literal>--no-estimate-size</literal> option is specified),
+      this is always <literal>0</literal>.

"always" seems unnecessary.

+        This option prevents the server from estimating the total
+        amount of backup data that will be streamed. In other words,
+        <literal>backup_total</literal> column in the
+        <structname>pg_stat_progress_basebackup</structname>
+        view always indicates <literal>0</literal> if this option is enabled.

Here too.
