Just a minor clarification here: INSERT does not create dead rows, only UPDATE and DELETE do. Thus, if you only insert rows, you do not need to
vacuum (although you probably need to analyze).

Not entirely true. An insert & rollback will create dead rows. If you attempt and fail a large number of insert transactions then you will still need to vacuum.
