Would it be possible to rebuild all non-btree indexes when a recovery
takes place?

Another thing that seems it might be nice is to check the non-btree
indexes during analyze (if that is possible and not too expensive).

Yes, it is: currently, only btree indexes are WAL safe.

(I spent some time recently looking into adding page-level concurrency
and WAL to GiST, but I haven't had a chance to finish that work -- it is
quite a big job...)
