IMO, pg_receivewal should have a way to turn off/on using READ_REPLICATION_SLOT. Imagine if the postgres server doesn't support READ_REPLICATION_SLOT (a lower version) but for some reasons the pg_receivewal(running separately) is upgraded to the version that uses READ_REPLICATION_SLOT, knowing that the server doesn't support READ_REPLICATION_SLOT why should user let pg_receivewal run an unnecessary code?
