It's not anymore since PostgreSQL have logical replication. You can
initialize you FreeBSD cluster with a pg_basebackup and you follow
updates with logical streaming.

With logical replication, is it's permanently up to date in
miliseconds, you can switch when you want.

Your OS or cpu architecture doesn't matter, really :-)
