But the uplift is a lot slower than sea rise, yes ?

But it can't be so for the long term, can it?, if projected sea rise is like over ten meters.

As an example: 10k years ago during the last major ice age, Stockholm was 150 meters below the current sea level. The land is springy...

In 2009 a dock needed to lowered by 0.5 meters to keep up with the land rise.

Seems odd...

This is a good place to start learning about the phenomenon:

Postglacial land uplift

Lantmäteriet (The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority) is a government agency in Sweden that provides information on Swedish geography and property.

Lantmäteriet was founded in 1628, when Swedish general mathematician Anders Bureus was tasked with systematically mapping out the Swedish Empire and educating new land surveyors under directions from the Swedish King Gustaf II Adolf)
