We currently have types that aren't typbyval despite fitting those criteria:
postgres[1606972][1]=# SELECT oid::regtype, typlen FROM pg_type WHERE typlen > 0 and typlen <= 8 and not typbyval;
┌──────────┬────────┐
│ oid │ typlen │
├──────────┼────────┤
│ tid │ 6 │
│ macaddr │ 6 │
│ macaddr8 │ 8 │
└──────────┴────────┘
