There is a clear history of these calls. When designing SJE, we initially
applied it to partitioned tables. Later, we realised complicated issues arise
when SJE meets DML, the RETURNING clause, and partitioned tables. So, we reduced
the feature for some time. I guess the core code's stability has been proven
enough by PG18. We may introduce SJE over partitioned tables in the next release.

You can probably remove these calls for now. Just make sure to add assertions to
help with developing the partitioned case.
