way, for example something in xlogdump, to assess how often this is getting
activated?

Currently there is no simple way to get this information, but with
attached simple patch you can get this information by pg_xlogdump.

It will give you information in below way:

rmgr: Heap        len (rec/tot):     47/    79, tx:        690, lsn:
0/0375B4A0,
 prev 0/0375B470, bkp: 0000, desc: hot_update: rel 1663/12125/24580; tid
0/1 xma
x 690 ; new tid 0/2 xmax 0; *compressed tuple:* *suffix encoded*

rmgr: Heap        len (rec/tot):     53/    85, tx:        691, lsn:
0/0375B520,
 prev 0/0375B4F0, bkp: 0000, desc: hot_update: rel 1663/12125/24580; tid
0/2 xma
x 691 ; new tid 0/3 xmax 0; *compressed tuple: prefix encoded*

rmgr: Heap        len (rec/tot):     56/    88, tx:        692, lsn:
0/0375B5A8,
 prev 0/0375B578, bkp: 0000, desc: hot_update: rel 1663/12125/24580; tid
0/3 xma
x 692 ; new tid 0/4 xmax 0; *uncompressed tuple*

I think this is useful information and can be even included in core
code.
