The background worker that's responsible for log rotation doesn't start on the replica nodes, which results in all audit messages going to a single file until the server is restarted.
According to the PostgreSQL documentation, ConsistentState and RecoveryFinished are equivalent on the leader, and ConsistentState is enough on the hot replicas, meaning it should work for both node roles.
