Yeah I personally find concepts related only to the query string
itself not something that needs to be tied to pg_stat_statements.
While reading about those five new fields, I am also wondering how
this stuff would work with CTEs.  Particularly, should the hasagg or
hasgroup flags be set only if the most outer query satisfies a
condition?  What if an inner query satisfies a condition but not an
outer query?  Should joincnt just be the sum of all the joins done in
all queries, including subqueries?

Indeed cte will bring additional concerns about the fields semantics. That's another good reason to go with external functions so you can add extra parameters for that if needed.
