Row counts are being badly underestimated leading to nested loop joins:
|Index Scan using product_content_recommendation_main2_recommended_content_id_idx on
product_content_recommendation_main2prm (cost=0.57..2,031.03 ROWS=345 width=8) (actual time=0.098..68.314 ROWS=3,347
loops=1)
|Index Cond: (recommended_content_id = 3371132)
|Filter: (version = 1)

Apparently, recommended_content_id and version aren't independent condition,
but postgres thinks they are.

Would you send statistics about those tables ? MCVs, ndistinct, etc.

I think the solution is to upgrade (at least) to PG10 and CREATE STATISTICS
(dependencies).
