Be very interesting to know if it is the rds proxy that is causing the problem. It is one things that annoys me about rds and aws services.

It was indeed the RDS Proxy. It appers to be very strict about the client_encoding parameter. Postgres.js was sending 'utf-8' which PostreSQL will understand, but RDS Proxy would just hang until this was changed to UTF8 (uppercase with no dash).
