Committed.

I tried to do some performance testing to see if there was any impact
of the extra catalog + ACL checks. Logical replication seems slow
enough -- something like 3X slower than local inserts -- that it didn't
seem to make a difference.

To test it, I did the following:
  1. sent a SIGSTOP to the logical apply worker
  2. loaded more data in publisher
  3. made the subscriber a sync replica
  4. timed the following:
    a. sent a SIGCONT to the logical apply worker
    b. insert a single tuple on the publisher side
    c. wait for the insert to return, indicating that logical
       replication is done up to that point

Does anyone have a better way to measure logical replication
performance?
