I'm a bit skeptical about this - at least in V12 there's only two GUCs with 'maintenance' in the name: maintenance_work_mem and max_parallel_maintenance_workers. Both are used for utility commands and do not apply to regular user queries while (AFAICT) your proposal is not limited to utility commands. So I think if you name it 'maintenance'-something, people will assume it only involves VACUUM or so.
