hard to figure out in all the config files if they are just in a list
(not in original directory structure targzipped for instance) but it
seems that fail2ban.conf/jail.conf wasn't even changed, and only
jail.local has modifications (the way it should be)

So -- fail2ban-server is crashing. Could you run it in foreground mode ?
(-f)

you might get even more information if running within ipython with smth
like 
ipython  -pdb /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -- -f -x

and then issuing that 
fail2ban-client -v reload

hopefully that would trigger visible crash in the server with giving at
least some clue of WTF.
then I guess you could debug it a bit if msg would not be informative

start ipython
pdb on
run /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -f -x

and then ivoke that client command -- theoretically you should get into
the point of failure, so you could reveal stack of calls with bt, etc
