I was hoping more coffee would lead to enlightenment, it did not. It did 
lead me to do what I should have done at the start which is look at the 
release notes for 15.x. You are on Postgres 15.3 and current is 15.7. On 
the path from .5 --> .7 is:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/release-15-5.html#id-1.11.6.7.4

Fix race condition in database dropping that could lead to the 
autovacuum launcher getting stuck (Andres Freund, Will Mortensen, Jacob 
Speidel)

The race could lead to a statistics entry for the removed database 
remaining present, confusing the launcher's selection of which database 
to process.
