Immediate use cases for me would be

* ability to filter WAL records based on database or relation

This patch isn't enough to allow the catalog lookups. Without the catalog lookups, you might as well implement that as an external tool, like pglesslog.

new freespace code caused a corruption we would be able to sidestep it
and get the database up again quickly without doing resetxlog and losing
data.

That might be useful. But again, could just as well be implemented as an external tool like pglesslog.

(the new FSM implementation isn't WAL-logged, so that particular scenario isn't very plausible)
