My first comment is that bitmap IOS is supported on PG11, which was
released..yesterday:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/static/release-11.html
|Allow bitmap scans to perform index-only scans when possible (Alexander Kuzmenkov)
Also, I wonder whether parallel query is helping here or hurting (SET
max_parallel_workers_per_gather=0)? If it's hurting, should you adjust cost
parameters or perhaps disable it globally ?
