I see other modules as well relying on LIFO behavior.
Please see applyparallelworker.c where
'before_shmem_exit(pa_shutdown)' is needed to be done after
'before_shmem_exit(logicalrep_worker_onexit)' (commit id 3d144c6).
Also in postinit.c, I see such comments atop
'before_shmem_exit(ShutdownPostgres, 0)'.
I feel we can skip adding this specific comment about
ReplSlotSyncWorkerMain() in ipc.c, as none of the other modules has
also not added any. I will address the rest of your comments in the
next version.

Thanks for testing it.
