Heck, you could run PITR to another pgsql instance on the local hard
drives for cheap, and then if things go horribly wrong, you just
reinit the ram based instance and restore it from the hard drive one.

One shouldn't act / believe / have faith that the in store version of
the db is durable.  Of course it's not, no machine stays up all the
time without any errors.  Even mainframes occasionally suffer
downtime, even if it's some guy hitting the big red switch on accident
during a customer tour of the datacenter.
