Here are two comments on v79-0003 patch.

+        /* Force to serialize messages if stream_serialize_threshold
is reached. */
+        if (stream_serialize_threshold != -1 &&
+                (stream_serialize_threshold == 0 ||
+                 stream_serialize_threshold < parallel_stream_nchunks))
+        {
+                parallel_stream_nchunks = 0;
+                return false;
+        }

I think it would be better if we show the log message ""logical
replication apply worker will serialize the remaining changes of
remote transaction %u to a file" even in stream_serialize_threshold
case.

IIUC parallel_stream_nchunks won't be reset if pa_send_data() failed
due to the timeout.
