Exactly. Like Tom I'm not really worried about the proposal, but of course I could prove to be wrong. I am ready to assume that bloat in pgss entries caused by temp tables is a more common case.
For what its worth, +1 on the current proposal in this thread (and doing it without a GUC), i.e. merging a query that references the same table alias, ignoring different schemas.
In the context of the earlier referenced one-schema-per-customer workloads:
In my experience these often not work well with pg_stat_statements today because of their own bloat problem, just like with temp tables. You quickly have way too many unique entries, and your query text file accumulates a lot of duplicative entries (since the same query text gets repeated in the text file, since its queryid is different), to the point that you can't monitor your workload at all anymore.
