Some of the capacitors here and there were almost dead so we had to be replaced them all.

Yes, the technician replaced them one by one with the same type/size new capacitors. Also, as the most of the ICs are socketed, we also replaced them one by one with new same type ICs and the issue remained the same. > In general recapping in 30 years old synths is not required beside > a few exceptions: 1.)

I agree, I have only replaced the capacitors on power supplies, of my old synths, but in this case we had to replace them all. What do you suggest to check ?
