Well, a recovery is just re-applying already written logs at super
speed. We don't need to write WAL because we already wrote it once (and
that would really confuse the timeline issue).

I think if this was an issue, the solution would be to speed up recovery
since that would benefit us more than putting recovery-squared code in.

Just start over...
