I did not do pvresize because neither "pvs" or "pvdisplay" reported to
have free space.
After reboot they did, after which doing pvresize worked successfully.

Now's when the problems happened. After writing the partition table I
got the usual "Busy" error. But I needed to do this without downtime.
So, what did I try to get the kernel acknowledge the partition size
change:
...
* partprobe -s
Well, partprobe is the standard advice for this situation, but I don't
think it actively does anything with the -s flag. That could have
been the problem, but I'm not certain.
And while dmesg reported that it recognized the partition change, LVM
did still not see it.
You didn't include "pvresize" in that list, so I presume you didn't do
it. That's the command that will inform LVM of the change.
