That is interesting, i assume this the WAL for the whole cluster, as
logical decoding is then used on this WAL for the logical replication,
do you have an estimate of order of magnitude for the all WAL files?

So far this seems ok over here (with one subscriber inactive for 2
days):
# du -ch pg_logical/ pg_wal/ pg_replslot/
912K pg_logical/snapshots
4,0K pg_logical/mappings
924K pg_logical/
4,0K pg_wal/archive_status
81M pg_wal/
8,0K pg_replslot/db2_sub
8,0K pg_replslot/db2_sub1
8,0K pg_replslot/db2_sub2
28K pg_replslot/
81M totaal
this after two days of replication setup.

assuming that students will be offline for at most 2 or 3 days,
this seems ok?
