You don't need to (and shouldn't) touch datallowconn while doing the
above.  Just use some third database to launch the "DROP DATABASE
template1" and "CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH TEMPLATE template0"
commands.

BTW: the other, more common use of template0 is as a template for making
a database to restore a dump into.  If you use template1 then any local
additions in template1 pose a hazard for the dump (which probably also
tries to define those objects).
