Hi! I thought about this problem again and I think I have a solution.

We can collect statistics on databases at all times - there are less
compared to vacuum statistics of relations, but they can give enough
information that can hint that something is going wrong.
With the track_vacuum_statistics guc we can cover cases of collecting
extended and complete information: when it is enabled, we will collect
vacuum statistics on relations both: heaps and indexes.
This will not lead to a synchronicity between constant database
statistics and temporary statistics of relations, since our vacuum
statistics are cumulative and it is assumed that we will look at changes
in statistics over a certain period.
What do you think?
