Setting font size for all tables
I need to use a rather complex (and old) LaTeX template https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. It looks like the Font size in all tables is smaller than the rest of the text.
Can the font size been set globally in the template? I'm aware of the font attribute, but no idea how to set the size. The examples rather cover bold or italic, but not size :)
The relevant definition in the template might be
\def\tablefont{\fontencoding{T1}
\fontfamily{phv}
\fontseries{m}
\fontshape{n}
\fontsize{8}{10}
\selectfont }
...
\newcounter{table}
\def\thetable{\@Roman\c@table}
\def\fps@table{tbp}
\def\ftype@table{2}
\def\ext@table{lot}
\def\fnum@table{\color{subsectioncolor}\sf TABLE~\thetable}
% V1.6 IEEE uses 8pt text for tables
% to default to footnotesize, we hack into LaTeX2e's \@floatboxreset and pray
\def\table{%
\newdimen\width
\setbox2=\hbox{\hphantom{\hspace*{255pt}}}
\width=\wd2 %\advance\width by \dp0%
\def\@floatboxreset{\reset@font\footnotesize\@setminipage}\@float{table}}
\def\endtable{\end@float}
% v1.6b double column tables need to default to footnotesize as well.
\@namedef{table*}{%
\newdimen\width
\setbox2=\hbox{\hphantom{\hspace*{516pt}}}
\width=\wd2 %\advance\width by \dp0%
\def\@floatboxreset{\reset@font\footnotesize\@setminipage}\@dblfloat{table}}
\@namedef{endtable*}{\end@dblfloat}
But interestingly, \tablefont is not used. Maybe I did search the wrong documents.
Thanks!

I can't find \tablefont in the IEEEtran.cls in https://www.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-org/ieee/web/org/pubs/conference-latex-template_10-17-19.zip.
The latest IEEEtran.cls downloaded from both the webpage you linked and TeX Live/MiKTeX (https://ctan.org/pkg/ieeetran) is versioned 1.8b. It seems you're using v1.6, which is outdated.
Using IEEEtran.cls v1.8b, you don't need to take care of table font sizes.

I can't find
\tablefontin theIEEEtran.clsin https://www.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-org/ieee/web/org/pubs/conference-latex-template_10-17-19.zip.
You are right, I'm very sorry, pasted the wrong link. I tried both, the IEEE Conference Template and the Journal/Article template. I need to use the latter.
I.e., I'm following this link: https://template-selector.ieee.org/secure/templateSelector/publicationType, choose "journals", then "IEEE Sensors Journal" -> "Original Research and Brief" -> Latex -> Download Template
The style is called "ieeecolor.cls" and can be found in the zip file, too. The header says
And in this file, you can find the \tablefont in line 2193:
I could not find any never version, it seems to be a modified one, based on v1.6b.
Unfortunately, your MWE (huge thanks for that!) does not compile with ieeecolor (with IEEEtrans it does and I can reproduce your results). So I tried to modify it, but not luck:

?
If I replace talltblr by tblr (also from the tabularray package), it works, but there's no caption which is only supported by talltblr (at least when using the caption attribute).
Also interesting, caption package interferes, too:
% \usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{caption}
Regarding error from above:

Just found out that this error goes away, wenn I add \usepackage{longtable}. Very weird.
The caption looks still different though.
