What I had in mind was to change it during initdb, we are already doing it
for some other parameter (unix_socket_directories), please refer below
code in initdb.c

#ifdef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS
snprintf(repltok, sizeof(repltok), "#unix_socket_directories = '%s'",
DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR);
#else
snprintf(repltok, sizeof(repltok), "#unix_socket_directories = ''");
#endif
conflines = replace_token(conflines, "#unix_socket_directories = '/tmp'",
repltok);

Could you once check if it is possible in above way to change
event_source?
