Reading your reply to Andres-san, I feel sympathy about your attitude. Maybe
we should outline the (rough) design first, discuss/guess its complexity, and
ask for opinions on whether it's worth expending our effort for the complexity
or choose an easier hack, considering the assumed use case and ensuring future
extensibility not to prevent smooth enhancements.
With that said, I think the easy hack this time is good, because parallel
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE will only be used infrequently (compared to short OLTP
transactions) for data migration and batch processing where the source data is
ample. I don't think of a use case yet where we want to make parallel workers
allocate an XID when only necessary.

Thank you for telling me the impression of the word. TBH, I knew the word for
the first time, and looked it up in English-Japanese dictionary. It didn't give
good impression, and grotty sounds somewhat similar to grotesque, so I got
worried "Robert-san may be angry."
