Also a couple of minor comments:

+ <literal>archiver</literal>: The WAL archiver, active when
+ <xref linkend="guc-archive-mode"/> is <literal>on</literal>.

The archiver is also active when archive_mode = always. So isn't it better
to say "active when archive_mode is enabled" (as in the Glossary), or
"when archive_mode is on or always"?

+ <literal>logical replication launcher</literal>: The background
+ process that launches logical replication worker processes for
+ subscriptions.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <literal>logical replication apply worker</literal>: A background
+ process that applies data modifications on a logical subscriber.

If these entries are meant to be in alphabetical order, shouldn't
"logical replication apply worker" come before "logical replication launcher"?
