Yes, I see pageinspect does the same thing for the BRIN case.
That is probably OK for this case also.

Not sure about EXPLAIN for CREATE INDEX, since it's not a plannable
statement.

Maybe a CREATE INDEX VERBOSE, just Like ANALYZE VERBOSE,
VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. This will show the step that an index
build is on (CONCURRENTLY has many steps), and can also show
if parallel workers are launched for the index build.
