Yes. Additionally, it would be better to add notes about data consistency after failover for example

Note that data consistency after failover can vary depending on the configurations. If
"synchronized_standby_slots" is not configured, there may be data that only the subscribers hold,
even though the new primary does not. Additionally, in the case of asynchronous physical replication,
there remains a risk of data loss for transactions committed on the former primary server
but have yet to be replicated to the new primary server.
