Small follow up if anyone is facing a similar issue:

router.pathname is the path to the page-file. So when you pass routher.pathname as a prop to the Transition component you will only get a transition when you navigate to a page that is based on another page-file. This will probably work fine in most instances, but if you use a CMS for content (my current project uses headless WordPress) you could be using the same file ( e.g. page/[...page].tsx ) to generate a lot of different pages.
The workaround is to pass router.asPath instead. This way you will get a transition every time the page is navigated to a different url.
