IMO, by the time we get that complicated, admins need to start doing some
work. That is, I think, work that should be nowhere near the main
PostgreSQL code. If someone wants to set up a foundry project for nice
crontab suggestions and Windows scheduler suggestions (however that works),
that'd be rather another matter.

Please, no. That sounds like a way to suppress useful error messages when
something Really Bad is happening. As it happens, that's when the flood of
messages is most important.

The general tone in this thread sounds like, "I don't have time to
administer this; help me." Providing such help is a bad idea.
