Yeah, 12.7 members per multixact on average is a lot, unless you have 12
processes concurrently locking the same tuples, all the time (although
that is possible). My guess is that this is related to subtransactions
(either explicit SAVEPOINTs in your SQL code, or EXCEPTION blocks in
plpgsql functions).
