try it this way, maybe it will start using an index :
UPDATE baz
SET customer_id = '1234'
WHERE baz_key IN (
SELECT baz_key
FROM baz innerbaz
WHERE customer_id IS NULL
and innerbaz.baz_key = baz.baz_key
LIMIT 1000 );
you may also try to add a conditional index to baz:
CREATE INDEX baz_key_with_null_custid_nxd
ON baz
WHERE customer_id IS NULL;
to make the index access more efficient.
