I agree with you.
Maybe crash safety would require some care in cases where autovacuum
runs very frequently, so that the overhead isn't too high. But
overall, non-crash-safe information that drives autovacuum is penny
wise, pound foolish.
I'm sure that it doesn't matter that much most of the time, but there
are probably workloads and use cases where it causes significant and
persistent problems. That's not the right trade-off IMV.
