A minor comment about doc.

+ <para>
+ Where the above target table features are determined to be, at worst,
+ parallel-restricted, rather than parallel-unsafe, at least a parallel table
+ scan may be used in the query plan for the <literal>INSERT</literal>
+ statement. For more information about Parallel Safety, see

+ </para>

It seems does not mention that if target table is a foreign/temp table, a parallel table scan may be used.

So how about:

+ <para>
+ Where the target table is a foreign/temporary table or the above target table features
+ are determined to be, at worst, parallel-restricted, rather than parallel-unsafe,
+ at least a parallel table scan may be used in the query plan for the
+ <literal>INSERT</literal> statement. For more information about Parallel Safety,
+ see <xref linkend="parallel-safety"/>.
+ </para>

Best regards,
