[Samba] FMSO transfer gone wrong

Hello,
I'm currently in the process of updating our Samba environment from 4.3
to 4.11. Looks like I did something wrong. Some pointers would be much
appreciated.
Since I wanted to migrate from Ubuntu to Debian anyway, I decided to not
upgrade in place, but instead create new VMs, join them and then remove
the old 4.3 ones. Everything went well until I also wanted to transfer
FSMO roles to a new VM.
Since 'samba-tool fsmo transfer --role=all' didn't work, I decided to
use seize instead. There was no error output other than the expected
error that the transfer didn't work and I shut the old FSMO master DC down.
So, now nothing really works as expected: the other DCs didn't get the
memo to change to the new FSMO master DC and I cant find any
documentation on how to change that by hand.
Also, drs showrepl request take forever to finish on the now
disconnected DCs while they just timeout on the FSMO master.
Not sure if that helps, but my smb.conf is attached :)
Thanks
Arne
