\tuplet doesn't seem to like << \\ >> constructs inside? I'm not sure.

But if you don't want tuplet numbers anyway, you might use 
\scaleDurations 2/3 instead of \tuplet 2/3 4.

And: You might replace

df4 s8 ff4 s8 ef4 s8

by

df4*3/2 ff ef

Leading to:

\version "2.22.1"
\language "english"

\relative c {
  \key af \major
  \time 4/4
  \clef bass

  \scaleDurations 2/3 {
    ef,8 ef'' g,
      <<
        { df4*3/2 ff ef }
        \\
        { df8 ff' af, ff df' af ef df' g, }
      >> |
  }
}
