Looks to me like the problem is here:

Returning 100x more rows than expected and bubbling up through a cascade of
nested loops.
Are those 3 conditions independent ? Or, perhaps, are rows for which
"qlfy_grp_id=dlr_grp.dlr_grp_id" is true always going to have
"cog_grp_id = dlr_grp_dlr_xref_1.dlr_grp_id" ?
Even if it's not "always" true, if rows which pass the one condition are more
likely to pass the other condition, this will cause an underestimate, as
obvserved.
You can do an experiment SELECTing just from those two tables joined and see if
you can reproduce the problem with poor rowcount estimate (hopefully in much
less than 15min).
If you can't drop one of the two conditions, you can make PG treat it as a
single condition for purpose of determining expected selectivity, using a ROW()
comparison like:
ROW(qlfy_grp_id, cog_grp_id) = ROW(dlr_grp.dlr_grp_id, dlr_grp_dlr_xref_1.dlr_grp_id)
If you're running PG96+ you may also be able to work around this by adding FKs.
