How is the postgres ecosystem at stating when these kinds of things are ready for adoption? I can think of a usecase at work where this might be useful, but hesitant to just start throwing random opensource extensions at our monolith DB.

The GitHub repo is about two weeks old and there's a single author - if I were you, I'd let it cook for a while longer.
