Few comments on the first read of the patch:

For rescan purpose, the parallel state should be reinitialized via
ExecParallelReInitializeDSM. We need to do that way mainly to avoid
cases where sometimes in rescan machinery we don't perform rescan of
all the nodes. See commit 41b0dd987d44089dc48e9c70024277e253b396b7.

+ * shared next_subplan counter index to start looking for unfinished plan,
Here using "counter index" seems slightly confusing. I think using one
of those will be better.

In this function, instead of returning from multiple places
partial_subpaths list, you can just return it at the end and in all
other places just append to it if required. That way code will look
more clear and simpler.

Spurious line addition.

if (!node->as_padesc)

if (!exec_append_seq_next(node))
I think this is the case of non-parallel-aware appends, but the
comments are indicating the opposite.
