Thanks Ludwig for the suggestion and thanks to Maciej for the confirmation from his end. This issue is happening for us for several weeks, so I don’t think this is a transient problem.
What is the best way to sanitize the logs without removing useful info before sending them your way? Will the files mentioned on "https://www.freeipa.org/page/Files_to_be_attached_to_bug_report -> Directory server failed" be sufficient?
I’ve also run the ipa_consistency_check script, and the output shows that something is indeed wrong with the sync:

We’ve tried "ipa-replica-manage re-initialize —from” and “ipa-csreplica-manage re-initialize —from” several times, but while both commands report success, the log messages continue to happen. The server was rebooted and “systemctl restart ipa” was done few times as well.
