I am certainly seeing similar problems with plain syncrepl in an MMR setup (all writes to one server currently, openldap 2.4.31):

for example, at the moment in my production system, there are 18 DNs (out of 5.7 million) which are in the writemaster

but which are missing from the 3 readslaves, although the contextCSNs all match. Deleting and re-adding such DNs to the writemaster

can usually fix this up, but sometimes the contextCSNs get out of sync, and

then the only practical way to recover is to rebuild the readslaves from a backup taken from the writemaster.

Because of this issue I am planning to change to using delta-syncrepl, which does appear to work and not get out of sync in the testing

I have done. I believe this is the only solution at the moment.
