pg_stat_force_next_flush() has primarily been used in in-core tests to force cumulative statistics to be flushed at the end of a transaction without waiting for the PGSTAT_MIN_INTERVAL throttle, to speed up things. It is also useful in tests outside the core tree. Spoiler: I have used it myself for some out-of-core work for the same reason as the in-core tests, and would have unlikely known about it without my work on the core code.
