I don't know the details of jsonb_set, Perhaps the '||' operator will
perform better for you, it will overwrite existing keys, so you can build
your new values in a new object, and then || it to the original.
postgres=# select '{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}'::jsonb || '{"b": 4, "c":
5}'::jsonb;
?column?
--------------------------
{"a": 1, "b": 4, "c": 5}
(1 row)
