Ok this will be a wall of text, so some things first:
Tried if i can connect to the WiFi without entering the PW again, this would work after a few tries, normally 2-6. Made a (bad) video Nextcloud (link valid for a week)
Here i have set the BSSID to the 5GHz network, if i change this to the 2,4ghz it seems to work every time, this would explain why when i tried to reproduce it before i set a fix BSSID I got other results every time.
This also seems to be supported by what comes further down.
So at least i have what looks like a band-aid fix for now. Would still be interesting to know the underlying cause
Now to wpa_supplicant

Trying to connect to my home WiFi (WiFi 1)
Tries to connect via 5ghz twice, fails, tries via 2,4ghz succeeded.
Tried this multiple times, most of them looked the same, one looked different, see further down

Next block is rather redundant, connected instantly via 2,4ghz.
