No good ideas, but a few random thoughts.
1) Can we make vacuum not block analyze? That way we can continue to
analyze a table while it's being vacuumed.
1b) If not, can we make auto-analyze bump auto-vacuum?
2) Maintenance windows. They wouldn't solve this problem, but they
might mitigate it some.
