Probably No. Such a WAL will be usable for HS unless an unlogged
operation (e.g., CLUSTER, CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, etc) happens.
I think that the occurrence of an unlogged operation rather than
XLogIsNeeded() itself must be checked in the standby, it's already
been being checked. So just removing XLogIsNeeded() condition makes
sense to me.
