Seems like that would very soon feel like log spam. What would be the
use case for having this on? If you want one-off results you could
run VACUUM manually.

To the extent that any of these make sense in autovacuum, I'd say they
ought to be managed automatically. I don't see a strong argument for
users configuring this. (See also nearby thread about allowing index
AMs to control some of this.)
