Sorry for the late reply, yes, too many nested queries can cause the query to time out.
You have a complex search. I have done similar things.
You could simplify the search by doing some more work. You want to exclude some fields from search.
I would set up a standard WP meta field “exclude_from_search”
When one of your custom post types is updated add an acf/save_post filter. In this filter determine by your custom fields if the post should be excluded and update post meta “excluded_from_search” to 0 or 1 (false or true).
The you can simplify the query to look for this field not existing or set to 0 rather that have multiple meta values that need to be looked at.
