The best approach is to run autoanalyze often enough, either by reducing
autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor for the table or (as you suggested) by
setting the parameter to 0 and using only autovacuum_analyze_threshold.
There is no way to force a certain plan in PostgreSQL, unless you are
using the pg_hint_plan extension.
