But similarly enabled 'client-to-client' also seems to
escape my rules to drop.
What I am hoping for is some docs on the 'magic' bits
'client-to-client' do in nftables, if any.
client-to-client does packet forwarding inside openvpn, no nftables
involved (and nftables has no chance to filter).

without client-to-client, packets go to the linux tun interface, and are *returned* (incoming = tun, outgoing = tun) and openvpn forwards it then to the other client.  In that case, nftables can affect them.

A feeling that there is something not working there between the two, grows. firewalld does not log any dropped packets which makes me think that with latest CentOS Steam 8 Ovpn does not do that part, for whatever reason. Stopping firewalld, which clears nftables pretty well, I think all is 'accpet' then, also makes not difference.

thanks, L.

I'd never suspect a "big" update of OS to change some bit such as kernel sysctl.
all good now.
thanks, L.
