Right.

-   if (!ctx->rel->rd_rel->reltoastrelid)
+   if (!OidIsValid(RelationGetToastRelid(ctx->rel)))

This set of diffs in 0002 is a nice cleanup.  I'd wish for relying
less on zero comparitons when assuming that InvalidOid is in use.

+static inline void
+AssertHasSnapshotForToast(Relation rel)
+{
+       /* bootstrap mode in particular breaks this rule */
+       if (!IsNormalProcessingMode())
+               return;
+
+       /* if the relation doesn't have a TOAST table, we are good */
+       if (!OidIsValid(RelationGetToastRelid(rel)))
+               return;
+
+       Assert(HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot());
+}

Using a separate inlined routine is indeed cleaner as you have
documented the assumptions behind the check.  Wouldn't it be better to
use a USE_ASSERT_CHECKING block?  These two checks for normal
processing and toastrelid are cheap lookups, but we don't need them at
all in non-assert paths, so I'd suggest to ignore them entirely for
the non-USE_ASSERT_CHECKING case.
