What did it finally was a combination of sand in the pots, the bare minimum of watering, glue traps everywhere and some Neem tree oil directly in the water/soil. Also, quarantining plants with a lot of flies.

Been dealing with them a lot this year. Thanks for the tips!

Main tip, have patience. It takes weeks to get rid of them. Maybe you need to sacrifice a plant. But it is doable.
