Yes that one. It sounds wrong to me, but that's from a British
English point of view. I'm continuing to learn the subtle differences
with American English. Maybe this is one.

It would make sense to me if it was "and with PostgreSQL 17, a 2x
...". From my point of view either "with" shouldn't be there or
"shows" could be replaced with a comma. However, if you're ok with it,
I'll say no more. I know this is well into your territory.
