I'd try turning on statement logging, and maybe also statement duration
logging, and then matching up the times of observed client-side outages
with what's happening according to the postmaster log. Connection
and disconnection logging might be useful too.

A likely bet about the root cause is an unreasonably short connection
timeout in some network infrastructure between your client and the
database server. That would manifest as both sides reporting that the
other side disconnected (not necessarily at the same time, but for the
same connection). If so, it could likely be cured by adjusting the
database's TCP keepalive settings. But you ought to gather data
first.
