Doesn’t pg_dump/pg_restore work across versions? (So long as the CLI tools are the latest version). I guess version compatibility could be an issue in theory, but I’m yet to hit into a backwards compatibility issue with Postgres.

I wish. You'd think it'd just be able to check the db to see if there's any schema or procedure incompatibility, but it doesn't. Instead, it goes "Remote uses version X and you're using version Y, sort that out" and then it exits.

Oh, that's incredibly unhelpful!
