I figured it out myself. The kerberos configuration on the old dc cobra was bad
? no clue why it worked at all until yesterday.
After fixing it, testing with kinit, and restarting the dc processes it resumed
replication.

Betreff: replication stuck?
 
Until yesterday replication between my two DCs (boa and cobra) was running fine.
Now I am observing one direction boa->cobra being stuck. I noticed this with
a  missing update of a DNS entry, but samba-tool drs showrepl confirms?
 
Output of cobra shows plenty entries like the following (including just he first
of each type):
