I'd rather spend effort making the initial execution of said commands less
likely. Something like:

TRUNCATE table YES_I_REALLY_WANT_TO_DO_THIS;

which will fail if you don't add the keyword "YES_I..." to the end of the
command and the system was setup to require it.

Or, less annoyingly:

BEGIN;
SET LOCAL perform_dangerous_action = true; --can we require local?
TRUNCATE table;
COMMIT;
