Is there any data corruption/damage to the database if we forcefully
kill autovacuum using cron job (if it is running longer than a
predefined time frame).

Our model is to provode black box solutions to our customer.
Black box, I mean application system, web sever and database is running
on the same machine.
We are running our sensor on 10 assets (windows machine) and sending
asset data to the server at every 15 minutes. There are some other user
operations going on to those assets at the same time.
On server
Cpu util ranging from 10-75%
Mem util ranging from 15-50%

There's the possibility that your autovacuum settings aren't aggressive
enough for your system, so it's never able to catch up.
Without knowing details it's hard to say for certain. What are your
autovacuum settings and other details about the load on your system?
