I'm not sure this (setting more and more GUCs to prevent hypothetical
plan changes) is a good practice. Because how do you know the plan does
not change for some other unexpected reason, possibly in the future?

IMHO if the test requires a specific plan, it's better to do an actual
"explain (rows off, costs off)" to check that.
