I'm not sure if this is possible at all without looking at logs in the
clients.

Do not skip major versions. The recommended procedure is to update to
CentOS/RHEL 8 and then to RHEL9.

You want to follow these docs:
* Upgrade to RHEL 8:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/migrating_to_identity_management_on_rhel_8/migrating
* Upgrade to RHEL 9:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/migrating_to_identity_management_on_rhel_9/assembly_migrating-your-idm-environment-from-rhel-8-servers-to-rhel-9-servers_migrating-to-idm-on-rhel-9

HTH,

Rafael
