There is most certainly no such timeout in the backend. Who told
you that?
We do run TCP connections with SO_KEEPALIVE set, which will cause
the connection to be timed out if the far-end kernel stops responding
for a sufficiently long time (IIRC, the RFC-mandated timeout is on
the order of an hour). I doubt this would be likely to cause any
problems, though. Certainly a slow application would not cause a
failure at the TCP level.
