That one I can answer.

If there is no activity on a database, its "datfrozenxid" stays
the same.  So, as transaction IDs are consumed, it is getting older
automatically.  That means that even inactive databases will receive
an anti-wraparound vacuum occasionally.  But that should not have
to do anything except advance "datfrozenxid".
