The HBA inputs can't be allowed to change; that's not what I'm worried about.

The system_user might change. Cached SCRAM keys can change. Every
certificate-derived piece of metadata in sslinfo could change.
MyProcPort->peer and MyProcPort->gss might be wholly reassigned. And
any user-metadata functions provided by OAuth validator modules would
need to carefully consider their volatility guarantees at minimum.
There's probably more.
