I am customizing my configuration files, both pg_hba.conf to allow LAN clients to access the DB on the machine and postgresql.conf to tweak my DB engine.

By now I am just editing the files I've seen in guides, so in /etc/postgresql/{version}/main/pg_hba.conf, its default location.

I noticed in the same root folder is also present a conf.d folder: what can I put in this folder?

How can I be sure to save my customizations when postgresql updates? I would be more inclined towards making something like my_pg_hba.conf and put it into the conf.d folder: will this work? How can I accomplish something like this?

Yes, that should work, as long as the main pg_hba.conf contains a line like

include_dir conf.d

PostgreSQL will never overwrite or modify pg_hba.conf if you install new software. It is up to you to copy that file to the new cluster when you perform a major upgrade, along with all included files.
