How is it different from: putting multiple queues on same redis, when one queue is locked up, others queue are affected?

If that's a real risk, you can always put them into different instances. The solution is exactly the same for redis or postgresql

Queues by nature tend to be for tasks that you can tolerate delaying a bit. If your queues can impact your "live"/online processing, that's worse than just impacting other queues.

Also something like redis tends to be a lot simpler and less prone to locking up than the monster that is postgresql.
