Also from the README:

Notes:
If set_user.block_log_statement is set to "off", the log_statement
setting is left unchanged.

So assuming you do not normally have statements being logged, this would
not change that.
Despite reading that, I was a little uncertain because of it being called block_log_statement. It seems like conceptually it's really log_all_statements, though I suspect you won't want to change the name in midstream.
FWIW, it would be clearer at least to me if you took the two statements in the description:
- log_statement setting is set to "all", meaning every SQL statement executed while in this state will also get logged.
- If set_user.block_log_statement is set to "on", SET log_statement and variations will be blocked. And this one from the notes:
And this one from the notes:
- If set_user.block_log_statement is set to "off", the log_statement setting is left unchanged.
And combined them together:
If set-user.block_log_statement is set to "on", log_statement setting is set to "all", meaning every SQL statement executed while in this state will also get logged. SET log_statement and variations will be blocked. If set to "off," the log statement setting is left unchanged.

As noted in the README, set_user will refuse to run inside a transaction
block, but other than that none that I know of. Of course if you come up
with any I'd be very interested to hear about them.
If I go this route, get it up and running and find any, I'll be happy to let you know. :)
Thanks a lot for your help!
