Are there some smart ways to avoid this kind of mass ?

you can obtain the same result using a trigger, but you must replace the trigger function every time you add/remove a partition.

This is not strictly true. If you use EXECUTE to run dynamically built INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements you don't have to replace the trigger each time.
