The documentation states that after some executions of such functions the plan should become generic.
What is a generic plan for such a case and how would it work?

    It's highly dependent on the query
    
    When I see this happen (after we notice that a procedure starts
    taking a long time), the query planner flips from a custom
    plan to a generic plan after about the fifth execution in a session
    of a function/procedure.
    
    This will make it calculate the plan every time:
    set plan_cache_mode = force_custom_plan;
