There are fn_extra caches that are not tied to queries. Admittedly they're for special purposes like I/O functions and index support functions, and maybe you can assume that your function can't be used in such ways. I don't think it's a great programming model though.

Most places dealing with composite types assume that the rowtype *could* change intraquery. I believe this was a live possibility in the past, though it might not be today. (The issue was inheritance queries, but I think we now force tuples from child tables to be converted to the parent rowtype. Whether that's 100% bulletproof is unclear.) If you're not dealing with composites then it's an okay assumption. I think.
