Should I be looking to offload expensive reporting queries to read-

Yes, definitely look into setting up something like a slony slave
that's used for reporting queries. The nice thing about this setup is
you only need to replicate the tables you run reports against.
For simple two-node (i.e. no cascaded replication) I'd suggest looking
into Londiste. It's loads easier to wrap your head around and it's
extremely easy to add/remove tables from replication as it doesn't
deal with "table sets" like Slony does.
