If someone has set deadlock_timeout to, say, 30s or 60s, they've already signaled they don't need frequent lock-wait feedback. Logging every 10s after a 60s deadlock_timeout feels inconsistent with that intent.

Even though they cross paths at the implementation level today, having the behavior of log_lock_waits change just because client_connection_check_interval is adjusted seems surprising.

V2 overall looks good to me.

A small comment is about the variable name logged_lock_waits that sounds like “count of waits”, I would suggest “lock_wait_logged”. But I see that the name follows the naming convention of the existing variable logged_recovery_conflict, so maybe just rename to logged_lock_wait (remove the “s”).
