That’s normal for building indices on large tables, regardless of the RDBMS. Increase the timeout, and build them with the CONCURRENTLY option.
Query speed
Without knowing your schema and query I can’t say with any certainty, but it shouldn’t be dramatically slower than single-node Postgres, assuming your table statistics are accurate (have you run ANALYZE <table>?), necessary indices are in place, and there aren’t some horrendously wrong parameters set.
