I don't know if/when that will happen as such, but Simon was making noises about writing code to treat hash indexes as unlogged automatically, which would more or less fix the worst risks. That's not just a special case for hash indexes, but any index AM that lacks WAL support, as third-party AMs might well do.
As someone writing a 3rd-party AM, literally right this moment, do you have a link to that thread? While I follow this list fairly closely I don't remember seeing this. I'd love to understand the thoughts around handling extension-based AMs.
