Thanks for your confirmation!
I will add this thread to the commit fest soon.

The following is the problem analysis and fix approach:
I think the problem is when there is a DDL in a transaction that generates lots
of temporary data due to rewrite rules, these temporary data will not be
processed by the pgoutput - plugin. Therefore, the previous fix (f95d53e) for
DML had no impact on this case.

To fix this, I think we need to try to send the keepalive messages after each
change is processed by walsender, not in the pgoutput-plugin.

Attach the patch.
