I think the original issue with XIDs was fixed by 74cf7d46a.

Are you still planning to progress the patches addressing huge memory use of
pg_restore?

Note this other, old thread on -general, which I believe has variations on the
same patches.
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/[email protected]

There was discussion about using pg_restore --single.  Note that that was used
at some point in the past: see 12ee6ec71 and 861ad67bd.

The immediate problem is that --single conflicts with --create.
I cleaned up a patch I'd written to work around that.  It preserves DB settings
and passes pg_upgrade's test.  It's probably not portable as written, but if need be
could pass an empty file instead of /dev/null...
