There is an 8 TiB growth limit over the life of the volume. If your starting point was 12 x 1TB you would have reached that ceiling during your upgrade.
Also you cannot expand a volume past 16 TiB, no matter what the starting point was. At that point the inodes need to be converted to 64 bits, and the expansion tools do not do that safely. Your new configuration exceeds 16 TiB also.
So although you do not want to hear it, a factory reset is what is needed.
