Oh, sorry for the mistake, it is about standby of course.

Looks like it is impossible, because wal_log_hints is required in
order to use pg_rewind.
It is possible to achieve a situation with some additional LP_DEAD on
standby compared to the primary, but any change on primary would cause
FPI, so LP_DEAD will be cleared.
