If you dump your tables via pg_dump and promptly you dump LO via
pg_dumplo, IMHO you not have problem with DB consistency. In table-dump
is in columns OID which use LO-dump index.

Yes. If I good remember, anyone plan rewrite pg_dump. Or not? If not, I can
rewrite it, because I very need good backup tools (I have important large
databases (with LO too)).
