Yes.  I bet someone set it without reading our docs:

	https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/runtime-config-query.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-QUERY-OTHER

-->	Allows the use of parallel queries for testing purposes even in cases

We might need to clarify this sentence to be clearer it is _only_ for
testing.  Also, I suggest you review _all_ changes that have been made
to the server since I am worried other unwise changes might also have
been made.
