You are right, read only FDW can be used. A second point in favor of
your remark is that this is the responsibility of the FDW implementation
to throw an error when used with a prepared transaction and I see that
this is not the case for all FDW.
I have attached a single patch that include Etsuro Fujita's patch on
postgres_fdw documentation and mine on postgres_fdw error message with
the precision that it comes from postgres_fdw. The modification about
prepared transaction in PostgreSQL documentation has been removed.
