Eh. I get your point and truly appreciate structural safeguards as opposed to aspirational ones but this is really not as doable as you make it out to be, and doing it properly would be a full blown product in its own right. First, this only works if you have a very narrow interpretation of PII. Once you realize most of your non-int/uuid unique indexes (and all your join predicates) are probably PII in some way or the other, the scope of the problem greatly increases. How does your solution work when you need to group by PII, full text search by PII, filter by PII, etc?
