I don't see any alternative. If one backend sends a NOTIFY payload that contains a non-ASCII character, there's a risk that we won't be able to deliver it to another backend with a client_encoding that can't represent that character. Also, just the fact that client_encoding can be changed at pretty much any time is a potential problem, because it's difficult to know whether a particular notification was sent using the old client_encoding or the new one (because it's asynchronous).
