After reducing data memory from 22.5GB to 2.5GB the upgrade succeeded. Other clusters (all with <3GB data memory) could be upgraded too.

  ndb - bug#34378
    Using more than 16g can cause record-pool ptr.i values to overflow
    Fix by splitting memory into 2 zones, lo(16g)/hi(rest)
    When record pools only use zone_lo, and datamemory, buffers etc...can use any
