Hard to say for sure, but it looks like your host has a few problems.
This part from your logs refers to something that should not happen,
to begin with:

> 2023-05-14 05:13:13.678 UTC [1] LOG:  received smart shutdown request

> No such file or directory

This LOG would come from either AddToDataDirLockFile() or
RecheckDataDirLockFile().  Still, the third entry I am quoting refers
to a recheck of the PID file, meaning that the postmaster has bumped
into what looks like a corrupted PID file.
