Thank you, Quanah,

I didn't know about the "keepalive" option for syncrepl. Now that you
mentioned, I found some old 2017 discussion on this list with a very
similar issue I have, where you mentioned this option. I see it in the
slapd manual page but not on 2.4 (or 2.5) admin site:
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html

I'll try adding it to the config and will definitely consider upgrading to
a newer version in some fashion.

Thanks,
Mircea
