No, your understanding seems correct to me. But what I want to check
is if calling the progress function more often has any impact on
lag-related fields in pg_stat_replication? I think you need to check
the impact of large transaction replay.

One comment:
+static void
+update_progress(LogicalDecodingContext *ctx, bool skipped_xact, bool end_xact)
+{
+ static int changes_count = 0;
+
+ if (end_xact)
+ {
+ /* Update progress tracking at xact end. */
+ OutputPluginUpdateProgress(ctx, skipped_xact);
+ changes_count = 0;
+ }
+ /*
+ * After continuously processing CHANGES_THRESHOLD changes, update progress
+ * which will also try to send a keepalive message if required.

I think you can simply return after making changes_count = 0. There
should be an empty line before starting the next comment.
