Currently the 1st patch actually also contains the changes for the
Parallel-SELECT-for-INSERT functionality. This is not obvious.
So I think this should be split out into a separate patch (i.e. the
minor planner update and related planner comment changes,
is_parallel_allowed_for_modify() function, max_parallel_hazard()
update, XID changes).
Also, the regression tests' "serial_schedule" file has been removed
since you posted the v3-POC patches, so you need to remove updates for
that from your 3rd patch.

How about reorganisation of the patches like the following?

0001: CREATE ALTER TABLE PARALLEL DML
0002: parallel-SELECT-for-INSERT (planner changes,
max_parallel_hazard() update, XID changes)
0003: pg_get_parallel_safety()
0004: regression test updates
