Windowswas still a bridge too far for many. I am surprised that this limitation introduced after V11 hasn't caused
issueselsewhere though.
Maybe it has, but you're the first to report the problem, or at least
the first to report it with enough detail to trace the cause.
I've pushed a fix that removes the artificial restriction on work_mem
times hash_mem_multiplier; it will be in next month's 13.4 release.
You'll still need to increase hash_mem_multiplier to get satisfactory
performance on your workload, but at least it'll be possible to do that.
