I was eyeing at 0003, and this strikes me as incorrect. Sure, this
matches what reindex_relation() does, but you've missed that
CONCURRENTLY takes a lighter ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, and ShareLock
conflicts with it. See:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/explicit-locking.html

So, doesn't this disrupt a concurrent REINDEX?
