Very similar requirement or need was discussed in the past in [1], not
exactly RPO enforcement but large bulk operation/transaction negatively
impacting concurrent transactions due to replication lag.
Would be good to refer to that thread as it explains the challenges for
implementing functionality mentioned in this thread. Mostly the challenge
being no common place to code the throttling logic instead requiring calls
to be sprinkled around in various parts.
