If that's the problem you want to solve, there's no technical solution
that will put you at ease. That's a people and trust problem.
I don't think typical (or less typical) organisation should drive our
technical choices too much, and I'm pretty confident they didn't in the
past: pg_hba.conf is a file not because it's meant for this or that team
but because it makes sense technically to manage the settings to allow
using some resources *outside* of said resources.
We currently have no way that I know of to disable ALTER ROLE SET and
ALTER DATABASE SET effects, why do we need to provide that feature for
ALTER SYSTEM SET so much?
