Issues with beans in the migration (some nodes don’t migrate, some migrate old revisions)

I am trying to do a migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9. Most seems to migrate okay but I noticed the following problems:

  • I am missing some nodes
  • Some nodes migrated only old revisions of the node (IE: In the live site a node has 8 revisions, and the migration only migrated the first 2, leaving the most recent of the 2 as the live content, which is a review from 2015. The most recent review in the site is from 2021)

The issue probably comes from one of those notices, I am just not too sure how to fix it or debug them:

The "bean" entity type does not exist. (/app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php:143) [notice] Cannot change the field type for an existing field storage. The field storage node.field_thumbnail has the type entity_reference. (/app/web/core/modules/field/src/Entity/FieldStorageConfig.php:375) [notice] Cannot change the field type for an existing field storage. The field storage node.field_event_date has the type daterange. (/app/web/core/modules/field/src/Entity/FieldStorageConfig.php:375) [notice] The "bean" entity type does not exist. (/app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php:143)  [notice] Attempt to create a field field_bean_text that does not exist on entity type bean. (/app/web/core/modules/field/src/Entity/FieldConfig.php:315)  [notice] Attempt to create a field field_link_to that does not exist on entity type bean. (/app/web/core/modules/field/src/Entity/FieldConfig.php:315)  [notice] The configuration property settings.required_summary.0 doesn't exist. (/app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/Schema/ArrayElement.php:76)  [notice] The configuration property settings.required_summary.0 doesn't exist. (/app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/Schema/ArrayElement.php:76)

Any tips to migrate beans? I tried using the module "bean migrate" but then those notices turn in to:

 [notice] Upgrading bean:homepage_information_block_base  [error]  DrupalCoreDatabaseIntegrityConstraintViolationException: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'uuid' cannot be null: INSERT INTO "block_content" ("revision_id", "type", "uuid", "langcode") VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0, :db_insert_placeholder_1, :db_insert_placeholder_2, :db_insert_placeholder_3); Array (     [:db_insert_placeholder_0] =>      [:db_insert_placeholder_1] => homepage_information_block_base     [:db_insert_placeholder_2] =>      [:db_insert_placeholder_3] => und )  in DrupalCoreDatabaseDrivermysqlExceptionHandler->handleExecutionException() (line 50 of /app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Database/Driver/mysql/ExceptionHandler.php).

I am fairly familiar with Drupal, just not so much with Migrations, so any general tips to help me debug/fix would be appreciated
