Curious, the difference in Index Only Scan node:

->  Index Scan using stream_file_pkey on stream_file sf
     (cost=1.63..1.86 rows=1 width=8)
     (actual time=0.006..0.006 rows=1 loops=598916)
     Index Cond: (id = sdo.stream_file_id)
     Filter: (component_id = ANY

->  Index Only Scan using ui_stream_file_id_component on stream_file sf
     (cost=0.43..0.51 rows=1 width=8)
     (actual time=0.014..0.014 rows=1 loops=598916)
     Index Cond: ((id = sdo.stream_file_id) AND (component_id = ANY

Each time the index scan is 2.5 times slower on PG17. But:

PG 15:
Buffers: shared hit=2338397 read=57267
I/O Timings: shared read=3384.286

PG 17:
Buffers: shared hit=1909772 read=9933
I/O Timings: shared read=686.506

If I'm not mistaken, it seems like an insight.
