I think I'd rather just open-code the (MaxTransactionId / 2) here.  I'm not
too concerned about 64-bit transaction IDs (there's a lot more than this to
change for that), but it does seem like a good idea to be consistent with
nearby code.

The errmsg part should already show the exact number of IDs remaining.

IMHO we should still emit warnings about imminent wraparound even if
autovacuum_freeze_max_age is set to totally-inadvisable values.  I think
the behavior you are describing only happens if users set it to north of
1.6B.
