This seems to have a few false positives. Multi-column indexes that have the first column as the foreign key work as well as a single column index. For more modern postgres, partial indexes with `WHERE column_name IS NOT NULL` on columns that can be null are also valid and more performant.

Here's what we use in CI to check for missing indexes:

    -- Unindexed FK -- Missing indexes - For CI

    WITH y AS (
    SELECT
    pg_catalog.format('%I', c1.relname)  AS referencing_tbl,
    pg_catalog.quote_ident(a1.attname) AS referencing_column,
    (SELECT pg_get_expr(indpred, indrelid) FROM pg_catalog.pg_index WHERE indrelid = t.conrelid AND indkey[0] = t.conkey[1] AND indpred IS NOT NULL LIMIT 1) partial_statement
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint t
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute  a1 ON a1.attrelid = t.conrelid AND a1.attnum = t.conkey[1]
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class      c1 ON c1.oid = t.conrelid
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace  n1 ON n1.oid = c1.relnamespace
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_class      c2 ON c2.oid = t.confrelid
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace  n2 ON n2.oid = c2.relnamespace
    JOIN pg_catalog.pg_attribute  a2 ON a2.attrelid = t.confrelid AND a2.attnum = t.confkey[1]
    WHERE t.contype = 'f'
    AND NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_index i
    WHERE i.indrelid = t.conrelid
    AND i.indkey[0] = t.conkey[1]
    AND indpred IS NULL
    )
    )
    SELECT  referencing_tbl || '.' || referencing_column as column
    FROM y
    WHERE (partial_statement IS NULL OR partial_statement <> ('(' || referencing_column || ' IS NOT NULL)'))
    ORDER BY 1;

Additionally I have this to specify the index creation commands (CONCURRENTLY is recommended for existing tables in production as it doesn't cause locking):
