This happens consistently this way. Every time I run it with explain analyze it uses parallel workers, and every time I run it without it doesn't. I just enabled auto_explain, and see that it is "planning" to use a worker, but doesn't launch it. Is there a way to know why a planned worker doesn't get launched?

One theory would be that, the worker might not have been available
when you performed the query execution, but it just happened to be
when you did the EXPLAIN ANALYZE. If the executor can't get a free
worker process, then it'll just do all the work in the main process.
The plan parallel plan that you've shown, given no extra worker
processes, would most likely perform the same as the serial plan you
showed, since the extra Finalize Aggregate node is only handling 1 row
anyway.
What's max_worker_processes set to?
If this is just a test machine, you should be able to see what's going
on if you install auto_explain, and enable auto_explain.log_analyze
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auto-explain.html)
Setting this up will log the EXPLAIN ANALYZE to the PostgreSQL logs
when you execute the query as normal.
