Same here, and there is no big diff as far the amount of log generated:

Without the patch:

$ du -sh ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/*040*
4.0K    ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_cascading_standby.log
24K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_publisher.log
16K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_standby1.log
4.0K    ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_subscriber1.log
12K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/regress_log_040_standby_failover_slots_sync

With the patch:

$ du -sh ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/*040*
4.0K    ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_cascading_standby.log
36K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_publisher.log
48K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_standby1.log
4.0K    ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/040_standby_failover_slots_sync_subscriber1.log
12K     ./src/test/recovery/tmp_check/log/regress_log_040_standby_failover_slots_sync
