1.

+$node_subscriber->append_conf('postgresql.conf', 'max_replication_slots = 4');

Why do we need slots on the subscriber?

2.

+$psql_subscriber{run}->finish;
+
+# Insert some rows on the primary
+$node_primary->safe_psql('postgres',
+ qq[INSERT INTO tab_rep select generate_series(1,10);]);

+$node_primary->wait_for_replay_catchup($node_standby);

+# To speed up the wait_for_subscription_sync
+$node_primary->safe_psql('postgres', "SELECT pg_log_standby_snapshot()");
+$node_subscriber->wait_for_subscription_sync($node_standby, 'tap_sub');

It is not clear to me why you need to do pg_log_standby_snapshot() twice.

3. Why do you need $psql_subscriber to be used in a different way
instead of using safe_psql as is used for node_primary?
