Thanks for your reply. I dugged a bit deeper, and it turned out that VACUUM FULL hung in heapam_index_build_range_scan.
It's PostgreSQL 13.3. Comments around heapam_handler.c:1482:
/*
* Since caller should hold ShareLock or better, normally
* the only way to see this is if it was inserted earlier
* in our own transaction. However, it can happen in
* system catalogs, since we tend to release write lock
* before commit there. Give a warning if neither case
* applies.
*/
/*
* If we are performing uniqueness checks, indexing
* such a tuple could lead to a bogus uniqueness
* failure. In that case we wait for the inserting
* transaction to finish and check again.
*/
Not sure how to interpret those comments, as:
- on the one hand, the long running transaction created a temporary table, so it had to update pg_class,

Not sure how to interpret those comments, as:
- on the one hand, the long running transaction created a temporary table, so it had to update pg_class,
- but on the other hand pg_locks showed no sign of lock on any of 3 indexes of pg_class, and locks once obtained are kept till the end of transaction.
