After googling a lot I figure out what to do and it worked - at least I can access the most critical data.
I’ve followed instructions from this blog post: https://blog.monotok.org/lvm-transaction-id-mismatch-and-metadata-resize-error/ <https://blog.monotok.org/lvm-transaction-id-mismatch-and-metadata-resize-error/>

However, I have no idea what was the root cause of this. I hope I can fully recover the volumes w/o re-creating the whole VG.
In case I did something terribly wrong that looked like the solution now, but may cause issues in future - I would appreciate any hints.
