This seems to be slightly faster, especially with the following index:

  create index idx_t3_combined on table3 (t2_id, t3_date desc, t3_id);

select *
from table1 as t1
  join table2 t2 on t1.t1_id = t2.t1_id and t2.t2_value like '%ab%'
  join (
     select distinct on (t2_id) t3_id, 
            t3_date,
            t2_id
     from table3
     order by t2_id, t3_date desc
  ) t3 on t3.t2_id = t2.t2_id 
order by t3.t2_id, t3.t3_date desc
;

I also had to increase the work_mem in order to avoid disk based sorting for the joins
