This is a little left field… but we’ve migrated a lot of onprem oracle
databases to Postgres (on aws rds) using aws database migration service -
which has worked very well and supports cdc.

I do wonder if you did the above and then add a 2nd cdc out from Postgres
rds to your onprem Postgres.
So onprem oracle -> rds Postgres -> onprem Postgres (all working
simultaneously)

(It wouldn’t work onprem oracle to onprem Postgres without a aws cloud
setup)

Just a random thought and fairly straightforward to setup.
