That's exactly the idea behind autovacuum.

Yes, it is sufficient. If you have a busy database, you may have to
tune autovacuum to keep up.
The only things that require manual ANALYZE are
1. partitioned tables (autoanalyze will collect statistics on the
partitions, but not the partitioned table itself)
2. after you create an index on an expression (otherwise you have to
wait until autoanalyze runs to get statistics on the indexed
expression)
