Changed domain address but Google still choose old URLs as canonical
The site is still not recovered and I'm thinking this is the reason.
Most old URLs are still in Google if I type site:olddomain.com.
Everything is redirected, no errors in GSC for the new domain.

The 'new' domain may well struggle, to begin with, as it appears to mostly be a duplicate of the old site.
... its why the redirects are so vitally important. It means even if users see the old domani URLs in search result, users STILL reach the new functional URL. It doesn't 'matter' that they were sent to the old URL initially.
The redirect also helps the new domain - in the long term - our rank the old domain. As the new domain as all its own backlinks, AND the links from the old domain. The old domain will in the long term, have less and less links of its own.
Google keeps the 'Change of Address' in place for 180 days, which is an estimate of how long it could take for the new domain to really find its footing. But the redirects should be maintained longer than tat.
ie, most (maybe not all!) should have have transfered to the new domain.

Also, is it normal that even after 2-3 months Google still chooses the old URLs as canonical for some pages? I'm thinking this is creating a conflict between the old and new URLs which causes Google not to rank any of our pages until it figure out which one is the real canonical.
(and even when Google has picked the old URL as canonical for a specific page, it still indexes both the new and old URLs of that page, is this normal?)
Another thing I have noticed is a discrepancy between the server logs and GSC reports. If I manually inspect an old URL that I see in logs that Google has recently visited, the report states it was last crawled 2 months ago (around the time when I triggered the domain change).
Any thoughts?
Should I give it more time?
