Quick thoughts:
1.
+typedef enum LogicalRepWorkerType
+{
+ TYPE_UNKNOWN = 0,
+ TYPE_TABLESYNC_WORKER,
+ TYPE_APPLY_WORKER,
+ TYPE_PARALLEL_APPLY_WORKER
+} LogicalRepWorkerType;
-1 for these names starting with prefix TYPE_, in fact LR_ looked better.
2.
+is_worker_type(LogicalRepWorker *worker, LogicalRepWorkerType type)
This function name looks too generic, an element of logical
replication is better in the name.
3.
+#define IsLeaderApplyWorker() is_worker_type(MyLogicalRepWorker,
TYPE_APPLY_WORKER)
+#define IsParallelApplyWorker() is_worker_type(MyLogicalRepWorker,
TYPE_PARALLEL_APPLY_WORKER)
+#define IsTablesyncWorker() is_worker_type(MyLogicalRepWorker,
TYPE_TABLESYNC_WORKER)
My thoughts were around removing am_XXX_worker() and
IsXXXWorker(&worker) functions and just have IsXXXWorker(&worker)
alone with using IsXXXWorker(MyLogicalRepWorker) in places where
am_XXX_worker() is used. If implementing this leads to something like
the above with is_worker_type, -1 from me.

With is_worker_type, the calling code now looks even more verbose. I
don't think IsLeaderApplyWorker(MyLogicalRepWorker) is a bad idea.
This unifies multiple worker type functions into one and makes code
simple.
