I don't know. We'd have to do the analysis. But it could be a
problem. Look at it this way: if you have a replica that is, for
isntance, _always_ 30 minutes behind, as a sort of poor-person's
fast-recovery PITR, then you lose that functionality if you have to
perform DDL on the replica at the same time as on the origin, because
you have to catch up first.
