With 'replay' and hot standby combination, you'll want to set

Well, given that DML-only transactions aren't prone such to conflicts, I
think of this as a corner case.

Yes they are. Any DML operation, and even read-only queries IIRC, can trigger HOT pruning, which can conflict with a read-only query in a hot standby. And then there's autovacuum which can cause conflicts in the standby, even if no user transactions are running in the master.
