Also, the dynamic pg_hba changes work only for new connections that are
being established via jdbc. Existing connections seem to able to make
connections.

You do know you can change pg_hba.conf without a restart?
As for the drop going into a wait state, you might want to look around
for client code that's sitting idle with an open transaction. The drop
should not block for longer than whatever is your longest transaction
touching that table.
