Reporting back, after reducing the values, the table has been picked up
for both autovacuum and analyze. Thank you for the immediate feedback!

Since I had spent some time looking into these values and was "certain"
that they were % while they are apparently *not*, I'm wondering if
max_val=100 is there because of historical reasons, and if it would make
sense to change it to 1.
