I also want to +1 this this effort. Exposing subtransaction usage is very
useful.
It would also be extremely beneficial to add both subtransaction usage and
overflow counters to pg_stat_database.
Monitoring tools that capture deltas on pg_stat_database will be able to
generate historical analysis and usage trends of subtransactions.

I'd like to give a general +1 to this effort. Thanks for doing this!
I've actually created a function to provide this information in the
past, so I will help review.
