Yes exactly! That's how Postgres synchronous replication works. If you turn on synchronous replication, then you won't lose data unless all your replicas are wiped out. The question the original poster was asking was what guarantees can be provided if you DON'T use synchronous replication--and the answer is that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
