Andreas already mentioned that 9.3 will be EOL soon (3 months from now), but 
the performance and efficiency for concurrent execution of ON CONFLICT is 
much better than anything you can implement yourself. 

If that functionality is an important part of your code, you should consider 
upgrading to 10 (or 9.6 if your are really conservative) rather sooner
than later.
