I should the check for whether a given user can or cannot analyze a table
should be whether the user has INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE privileges.

Realistically, ANALYZE is a background/maintenance task that autovacuum
should be handling for you.

Incorrect. That would be autoanalyze and although they are similar they are not the same. ANALYZE is used for a number of things, not the least is query profiling.
