I tried to replicate this as follows:

--- CUT ---
create table request(objectid text, productid int, data jsonb);
create index on request(objectid, productid);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.steve1(param_requestid text[],
param_productid integer DEFAULT 1) RETURNS TABLE(objectid text, n
text, v text, vt integer) LANGUAGE sql AS $function$
SELECT       objectid::text
             , i->>'n'::text
             , i->>'v'::text
             , (i->>'vt') :: INT as vt
FROM   request r
             , jsonb_array_elements(data -> 'i') i WHERE objectid =
ANY($1)
             AND productid=$2

$function$
stable ;

explain
SELECT objectid::text, n::text, v::text, vt::int FROM
steve1(ARRAY['5ab8e0ca-abb5-48c9-a95e-2bb2a375d903','adcbe251-6723-48a8-8385-55133fab704a'], 1);
--- CUT ---

and I got:

                                                                     QUERY PLAN
                            

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Nested Loop  (cost=0.15..11.42 rows=100 width=100)
   ->  Index Scan using request_objectid_productid_idx on request r  (cost=0.15..8.17 rows=1 width=64)
         Index Cond: ((objectid = ANY
('{5ab8e0ca-abb5-48c9-a95e-2bb2a375d903,adcbe251-6723-48a8-8385-55133fab704a}'::text[]))AND (productid = 1)) 
   ->  Function Scan on jsonb_array_elements i  (cost=0.01..1.00 rows=100 width=32)
(4 rows)

which is what I expected from successful inlining of the function.
So there are some moving parts in your situation that you've not
told us about.
