Thanks for finding out the problem, how about the following way of checking
for prefer-read/prefer-standby.

1. (default_transaction_read_only = true and recovery = true)
2. If none of the host satisfies the above scenario, then recovery = true
3. Last check is for default_transaction_read_only = true
