I found that the relevant functions that indicate the waits are optimized out when postgres is compiled.
And thus simply trying to use the functions that mark the start and end of a wait event cannot easily
be used.
But I am eager to see if anyone has come up with a solution to do this in a compiled and optimized
postgres version.

has anyone here tried static tracepoints inside
pgstat_report_wait_start/end to enable tools like ebpf to do full
tracing of wait events?
