Coordinator can still connect to the database to poll for new segments even if there is no indexing happening.

Thanks. Assuming that no segments are loading/being created, will queries still run?
A small test we did shows that queries still run unaffected (where we upgraded the postgres version while querying)

Also, with regards to what you mentioned about the coordinator, is there a risk of the coordinator misbehaving in a way that risks the operation of the cluster while it's not able to access the metadata database (again assuming nothing is happening other than queries)?

There shouldn't be any risk to data. Druid can handle temporary issues connecting to the metadata DB; it just can't do anything that would need to update the metadata (of course).
