For my purpose, it doesn't actually seem that I would need
max_logical_wal_senders to limit WAL senders. Since each logical connection
always requires a logical replication slot, the actual number of active
logical connections (and logical WAL senders) would ultimately be bounded
by max_logical_replication_slots. My main concern is therefore slot
exhaustion rather than the WAL sender limit.
