A good "rule of thumb" is to allow for one work_mem allocation per
connection for a reasonable estimation of peak memory usage for
this purpose. (This may need to be adjusted based on workload, but
it's a reasonable place to start.) So you have adjusted likely
peaks down from 700GB to 350GB.
I usually start with work_mem set to RAM * 25% / max_connections.
In your case that works out to 23MB. If you are able to use a
connection pooler to reducee max_connections, that will allow you
to boost work_mem.
