The mis-estimates are notable, but this time not the reason for a wrong choice of join strategy: evern though there are overestimates, a nested loop join is chosen. The time is spent in the 16979 executions of the outer subquery, particularly in the inner subquery. Because the query uses correlated subqueries, PostgreSQL has to execute these conditions in the fashion of a nested loop, that is, the subquery is executed for every row found. If you manage to rewrite the query so that it uses (outer) joins instead of correlated subqueries, the optimizer can use different strategies that may be more efficient.
