Calling unwrap on the encoder is a little overzealous. One of the errors that can be returned by the encode function in particular is the non-existence of metrics for a metric family, so we should prematurely filter instances like that out. I believe that the cause of this panic was caused by a race condition between the prometheus collector and the compute collecting the installed extensions metric for the first time. The HTTP server is spawned on a separate thread before we even start bringing up Postgres.
