Just a thought with an additional use case: If I want to set up a
standby for offloading queries, could I take the dump file from the
primary or another existing standby, copy it to the new standby, and
have it be warmed up to the state of the other instance from that?

In my experience, that kind of use is just as interesting as preserving
the buffers across a restart.
