The ideal is that backends will start using the new function

the years, although I think there are still cases where it will take a
little longer --- for instance if a SQL function gets inlined I think
the inlined code will persist for the duration of the query's
execution.
I don't believe there are still any cases where you actually have to
reconnect to get it to notice the update.
(At least this is true for plpgsql --- not sure if all the other PLs
are equally up to speed.)
Ah, good to know. Perhaps an audit is in order…
Best,
