I think we need to consider a few things for this. First, how will we
decide whether a particular node is a subscriber-side? One can create
a subscription after creating the trigger. Also, it won't be
straightforward to know whether the particular table is involved in
the replication. Second, the statement triggers do get fired during
initial sync, see docs [1] (The logical replication apply process
currently only fires row triggers, not statement triggers. The initial
table synchronization, however, is implemented like a COPY command and
thus fires both row and statement triggers for INSERT.). So,
considering these points, I don't know if it is worth showing a
WARNING here.
