Coming back after the weekend.
It seems like the db is definitely screwed up, although I can't say for sure if it happened during the first update to J4 or the second time when I tried to fix the database after the backup. The number of tables in the live database is different than the ones in the backup.
From what I can see on the local installation, there seems to be some obsolete files from J2.5 still there; I see from the migration docs that you're supposed to clean up PKG_JOOMLA, however it won't let me do it. However I can use "fix database" on the local installation resulting in no issue.
The only difference between the dev environment and the live one is the phpmyadmin version, the local one is 5.2 and live one is 4.9.7; it also says the PHP version is 7.4.29 compared to the 8.0.3 that is selected.
I don't know if these things made the live website behave differently on upgrade compared to the local one, but at this point I don't know if emptying the DB and the files and install the back up will solve the issue.
