It did some of them, but not all.
That dialog is not optimized for doing thousands of changes at a time. On windows, it will run at the speed of a dead snail. I will look at it, to see if I can do what was done with edit metadata to speed it up.

I was little bit worried if my database is now somehow inconsistent, so I did "Check database integrity" - which then hung again, 100% cpu usage, the dialog staying at 0% for about one hour (then I killed it again).

It won't be inconsistent in the sense of broken, but some of the values won't have changed.
And yes, check integrity is slow. Some people have reported that it takes many hours. There isn't much I can do about that, given what it is doing.

Everything still seems to work so no big worries here, and I did a backup before doing anything.
I have lots of (small, mostly pdf or epub) free books loaded, over 1000 authors and way over 5000 books so I am not sure if I should have waited longer for the processes to finish?

Yes, you should.
