    I had the same problem. I had to activate the SitePage feature in the site settings (see attached pic)

If modern experience is the default one in the tenant (you can check this on the SPO tenant settings), you don't need to enable at a site collection level...but bear in mind that if you have any customizations in your site collections, it could happen that the new stuff is not exposed to you...in those site collections: do you see the classic UI or the new one for Document Libraries?

    In all the site-collection I have the modern layout on list and libraries.

     

    I use the gear in top right corner and choose Add new page, on some sites it opens a modern page but for some it only give me option to set page name.

      Do you have any customizations applied to those sites where you are trying to create a modern page? Any feature you have enabled there? Which templates are the sites based on?

        I have a similar issue.

        1. Are you saying that classic sites that are migrated to SPO containing cusomizations (CSS) do not have the ability to utilize the new modern pages?

        2. I have a subsite of this custom site that does not contain a custom CSS. I am able to create a new modern page with a name and save, but cannot edit the page. For example, I can add a Text element but cannot add text. I ensured that the Site Pages feature is enabled. 

        3. I assume the new UX has been turned on for the site collection since I can create a new page in the subsite not containing the custom CSS. But not being able to edit it is baffling.
