The problem here is the huge differential between the typical and
maximum frequency of wfid values. Can you do something to get rid of
the outlier with 7584 values?
See past pghackers discussions about the need for more extensive
statistics to allow improvements in row-count estimation. As long as
the only stat we have is the frequency of the most common value,
there's no way not to get fooled by this sort of data distribution :-(
