Is there, now?
Try
SELECT locktype, relation, pid, mode, granted FROM pg_catalog.pg_locks;

Does it, now, while the dump hangs?

That seems fine. Except that the "-i" is bad (I told you to use the same version of pg_dump as the server version).
And "-b" is without effect, and "-v" won't do anything for you. But no problem.
Maybe you could try "-F p" temporarily so that you can see where the output is stalled.
Also, when the dump hangs, what is the result of:
SELECT procpid, current_timestamp, query_start, current_query
FROM pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity;
