anyway, IMHO, it is mere a performance tips that is not necessarily
required in this section, or even in this documentaiotn.  Addtion to
that, if we write this for max_wal_senders, archive_mode will deserve
the similar tips but I think it is too verbose.  In short, I think I
would not add that description at all.


I wrote it as a performance tip but it is documenting that when set to 0 no features of the server require more information than is captured in the minimal wal.  That fact seems worthy of noting.  Even at the cost of a bit of verbosity.  These features interact with each other and that interaction should be adequately described.  While subjective, this dynamic seems to warrant inclusion.
