I assume we are then looking at reindexdb, which has a parallel option. 
I assume we can also recommend --concurrently on a patched PG 14.4,
which might not be terrible since it would not cause downtime.  I guess
the command would be:

    $ reindexdb --all --concurrently --jobs ##

Without reindexdb's features, this would be much more painful.
