How many is "a large number"?

It's impossible to do more than speculate with this amount of information.
However, a plausible speculation is that you're processing so many objects
in one transaction as to overrun the limit on how large a WAL commit record,
or something related to that, can be.  Can you adjust your migration
script to break it into multiple transactions that process fewer tables
per transaction?
