I'm not clear on what exactly you envision, but if a process needs
access to shared buffers, it sounds like it should be a bgworker. I
don't quite understand why that process also wants a libpq connection,
but that's certainly doable.

Not wanting a process to be tied to postmaster's duration is a strong
indication that it better not be a bgworker, I think.
