I guess until logical replication of DDL is available you’re out of luck.

The best you can do is to have a separate table for recording and replaying schema changes.
Create triggers that perform actual DDL operations based on DML in this table.
Publish this table on the publisher in the same publication as the tables affected by the DDL.

On the subscriber side it is the same - just make the trigger is marked as ENABLE REPLICA TRIGGER or ENABLE ALWAYS
TRIGGER.

Kind regards,
