The following appears to work:

CREATE FUNCTION evt_automatic_restart_point() RETURNS event_trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
PERFORM pg_create_restore_point(tg_tag);
END
$$;

CREATE EVENT TRIGGER automatic_restart_point ON ddl_command_start
EXECUTE PROCEDURE evt_automatic_restart_point();

Are there any concerns about this?
