try it this way, maybe it will start using an index :

UPDATE baz
   SET customer_id = '1234'
 WHERE baz_key IN (
    SELECT baz_key
      FROM baz innerbaz
     WHERE customer_id IS NULL
       and innerbaz.baz_key = baz.baz_key
     LIMIT 1000 );

you may also try to add a conditional index to baz:

CREATE INDEX baz_key_with_null_custid_nxd
    ON  baz
 WHERE customer_id IS NULL;

to make the index access more efficient.
