Just in case no one else has brought it up- 8.1+ supports 2PC and
savepoints, so one alternative would be to run your standard
insertion operations in a prepared transaction or savepoint block. If
you get so far as being able to prepare the transaction/complete the
savepoint block, you should be able to snag a sequence id and commit
everything.
