Seems like you have some bad rowcount estimates leading to poor plan
selection.  Most of the problem looks to be coming from the FunctionScan
nodes, wherein the planner doesn't have any real way to estimate how
many rows come out.  You might look into whether you can replace those
functions with views, so that the planner isn't dealing with "black boxes".
