TLDR: it tried to run a service that did not exist (dnf5-offline-transaction.service), didn’t find it. I had to shut down before the upgrade finished.

The part of the upgrade that was skipped was cleaning old packages. One of them was fedora-release-39. So DNF thought I was still on Fedora 39 and tried to use the F39 repos after I booted up.

Removing all the duplicate F39 packages fixed it. Fedora 40 (Sway) is nice.
