OK, so PG's normal memory consumption is only ~14MB.  Where'd the
rest of it go?

> -bash-4.2$ pmap 17048
...

> 00007fd9a8d75000  32772K rw---   [ anon ]

and a few hours later it even grew:

-bash-4.2$ cat 20220718_200230.pmap.17048.log | grep anon
0000000000db3000    200K rw---   [ anon ]
0000000002d15000    504K rw---   [ anon ]
0000000002d93000 934476K rw---   [ anon ]
00007fd989776000 311304K rw---   [ anon ]
00007fd9a8d75000  32772K rw---   [ anon ]
00007fd9acb65000     20K rw---   [ anon ]
00007fd9affc1000    372K rw---   [ anon ]

From previous observation I know, that the process RssAnon memory grew over time, sometimes there are some steps. Still, generally, the growth is linear until the process finishes or we run out of memory, and the cluster is reinitialized by the postmaster.
No such behavior on older versions until 14.3 (including).

...
Probably the 838M chunk is shared memory?  Is that within hailing
distance of your shared_buffers setting?

postgres=# show shared_buffers ;
 shared_buffers
----------------
 10GB
(1 row)

...
> 00007fd9b0551000 10827040K rw-s- zero (deleted)

These 10GB matches 10GB configured as shared buffers.
 
...
And here we have the culprit, evidently ... but what the dickens
is it?  I can't think of any mechanism within Postgres that would
create such an allocation.
