Yes, it's still needed: a normal dump/reload doesn't fix the problem.

No, it's still needed I think. It's somewhat redundant with vacuumlo
apparently? The functionality of both should be incorporated into the
backend somehow, I'd think.

I believe pg_dump has this functionality, with -O.

No, this is different than REINDEX DATABASE.
