Looks like this badly underestimates its rowcount:

Index Scan using index_distrib_reports_on_year on distrib_reports (cost=0.42..40.62 rows=8 width=32) (actual time=0.034..50.452 rows=17,055 loops=1)
    Index Cond: (year = 2018)
    Filter: ((month = 1) AND ((state)::text = 'SUBMITTED'::text))
    Rows Removed by Filter: 1049

Maybe because "if year==2018" then, month=1 does essentialy nothing ..
..but postgres thinks it'll filters out some 90% of the rows.

And possibly the same for SUBMITTED (?)
You should probably use timestamp column rather than integer year+month.

On PG10, you could probably work around it using "CREATE STATISTICS".

..I think default max_parallel_workers_per_gather=3 by chance causes the plan
to be the same.

I think there's still a underestimate rowcount with PG10 (without CREATE
STATISTICS), but it's masked by "rows=1 actual rows=0" roundoff error with
high loop count.
