Thanks for your patch. Here are some comments.
1.

+ if (!AllTablesyncsReady())

I saw that the new parameter becomes effective after all tables are in ready
state, because the apply worker can't set the state to catchup during the delay.
But can we call process_syncing_tables() in the while-loop of
maybe_apply_delay()? Then the tablesync can finish without delay. If we can't do
so, it might be better to add some comments for it.
2.
+# Make sure the apply worker knows to wait for more than 500ms
+check_apply_delay_log($node_subscriber, $offset, "0.5");
I think the last parameter should be 500.
Besides, I am not sure it's a stable test to check the log. Is it possible that
there's no such log on a slow machine? I modified the code to sleep 1s at the
beginning of apply_dispatch(), then the new added test failed because the server
log cannot match.
