I took a look at explain.c where workers info is printed out.

These works for every parallel aware nodes:
Buffers stats print for workers with VERBOSE and BUFFERS
WAL stats print for workers with VERBOSE and WAL
JIT stats print for workers with VERBOSE and COSTS
Timing print for workers with VERBOSE and TIMING
Rows and loops print for workers with VERBOSE

Some specific nodes:
Sort / Incremental Sort / Hash / HashAggregate / Memorize and Bitmap Heap
Scan (this patch) nodes
always print their specific stats for workers.

Indeed, rescan overrides previous scan stats in workers.
Attach v5 with v4 plus the fix to aggregate the counts.
