Some extra info. I checked the backups and on the 8th of November, all 3 replicas had the tombstone of the deleted column. So:
1 November - column is deleted - gc_grace_period is 10 days 8 November - all 3 replicas have tombstone 13/14 November - column/tombstone is gone on 2 replicas, 3rd replica has the original value (!), with the original timestamp… Is there a logical explanation for this behaviour? Thank you, André Cruz
