I don't have a concrete picture but could we tell reorder buffer to
retain a PREPAREd transaction until a COMMIT PREPARED comes?  If
delaying non-prepared transactions until COMMIT is adequate, then the
same thing seems to work for prepared transactions.

It seems that there are no technical obstacles to do that on the
publisher side. The only observable difference would be that
relatively large prepared transactions may experience noticeable
additional delays.  IMHO I don't think it's a good practice
protocol-wise to intentionally choke a stream at the receiving end
when it has not been flow-controlled on the transmitting end.
