you don't need an insert of 300000 rows to test it.
you can just
CREATE TABLE btree_para_bld(i int);
ALTER TABLE btree_para_bld SET (parallel_workers = 4);
SET max_parallel_maintenance_workers TO 4;
CREATE INDEX ON btree_para_bld(i) WHERE i > para_unsafe_f();
reset max_parallel_maintenance_workers;
