If an exclusive backup API is really removed from #PostgreSQL, new extension supporting an exclusive one may need to be implemented.
I mean obviously the old interface has issues around the system / script dying in the wrong moment, but I don't understand how having to keep a connection open doesn't increase difficulty.

It does. Both are difficult to get right. One of them pretends to be easy and in exchange for it you get corrupt backups or a server that doesn't start. The other one is up front about the fact that it's difficult. (and we have an easy one, it's called pg_basebackup)

And no it's not particularly hard to script with the new interface. Unless it a absolutely has to be in shellscript.
