Ok, finally got around to tinker with the T8 Mini again and update to Android 6. I followed the instructions in the original post, did a factory reset too and after that got another OTA update. So far I haven't tested LibreELEC, only Android.
Very nice: My ext4 (Linux) formatted USB harddisk now mounts flawlessly without a third part app
Besides that, some minor things I noted and wrote down so far:

Besides that, some minor things I noted and wrote down so far:- The Android 6 build doesn't play so well with my TV regarding its image size/aspect ratio settings. If I select automatic (the default on my TV) or any specific aspect ratio, the output ends up slightly larger than the physical screen. I need to select fullscreen in my TV's display size settings to have the T8 Mini's output exactly screen sized. BTW I recently added a powered HDMI switch to my setup so the T8 Mini is not directly connected to the TV anymore, however even with the switch the screen size issue was not present before the software update.
- German in the first-run wizard (on Android) is still very lacking. Many buttons are labeled with somewhat out-of-context terms. I think a native language user should have a look at it.
- After the first reboot, Android's language (but not the regional settings) reverted back to English I set it back to German and after that it stayed that way.
- Would it be possible to integrate a keyboard layout selection into the wizard, or have it auto-select a layout according to the language?
