Yeah, that might be useful but we are already giving an option while
creating a subscription whether to allow parallelism, so will it be
useful to give one more way to disable this feature? OTOH, having
something like max_parallel_apply_workers/max_bg_apply_workers at the
system level can give better control for how much parallelism the user
wishes to allow for apply work. If we have such a new parameter then I
think max_logical_replication_workers should include apply workers,
parallel apply workers, and table synchronization? In such a case,
don't we need to think of increasing the default value of
max_logical_replication_workers?
