after reading through this: (https://android.googlesource.com/pla...ster/README.md)

I felt more confident flashing the recovery partition since it is not part of avb chaining.
Also the version in the metadata of the update.zip matched the version printed in recovery.
So I flashed the proposed recmod image into recovery but I was unable to enter it.
Instead of getting into recovery it got me in fastboot. From there I flashed the recovery.img from update.zip and in fact recovery works again.
For today this was enough excitement.

Thanks a lot for your help @Renate. Lerned more than I was prepared for on a sunday evening.

EDIT: Realized that I did not erase the first 512Byte of misc partition, because I did not get into EDL due to missing adb authorization. So cannot ensure they are actually zero
