Doubtless you can prevent races by introducing a bunch of additional
locking. The question was really directed to how much concurrent
performance is left, once you get done locking it down.
I understand your point and I can clearly see a chance to improve upon the current
locking implementation in the prototype even though we are seeing a good performance
boost for 50 clients and 50 scaling factor with pgbench runs as mentioned by Nikhil.

Yes, we have done a number of runs with and without autovacuum with parameters like 50 clients, 50 scaling factor and 25000 transactions per client. 50 clients should introduce a decent amount of concurrency. The tps values observed with the HOT update patch (850 tps) were approximately 200+% better than PG82 sources (270).
Runs with 25 clients, 25 scaling factor and 25000 transactions produce similar percentage increases with the HOT update patch.
