Ultimately OutputPluginUpdateProgress() will be called - which in turn
will call ctx->update_progress. I don't see wrappers around
OutputPluginWrite or OutputPluginPrepareWrite. But I see that those
two are called always from output plugin, so indirectly those are
called through a wrapper. I also see that update_progress_cb_wrapper()
is similar, as far as wrapper is concerned, to
ReorderBufferUpdateProgress() in the earlier patch.
ReorderBufferUpdateProgress() looks more readable than the wrapper.

If we want to keep the wrapper at least we should use a different
variable name. update_progress is also there LogicalDecodingContext
and will be indirectly called from ReorderBuffer::update_progress.
Somebody might think that there's some recursion involved there.
That's a mighty confusion.
