Bad.  That cycle seems like largely a waste of time.  About the only
thing it would do for you is ensure that relpages/reltuples are up to
date, which seems like something we could possibly arrange for during
the data import.

I think it'd be good to explicitly set vacuum_cost_delay to 0 in the
first pass, in the same way as you are forcing
default_statistics_target, just in case somebody has a nondefault
setting for that.  The second pass could probably be allowed to use some
higher delay setting.
