Ok so quick update here: I was following the mount procedure from the first link and it's looking good! However, I started with a fresh installation instead of moving my files around, but seeing as it worked out, migrating an existing installation should be no problem either.
So what I did:
deployed a new Cloudron with Nextcloud installed on a fresh CPX21 on
Hetzner Cloud (kept it at 40GB though, might scale down if performance allows it)
mounted a 5TB Hetzner Storagebox via sshfs into /mnt/cloud and added it as Cloudron volume (/media/cloud)
mounted that volume into the Nextcloud app (uncheck read-only)
change the datadirectory in config/config.php from 'datadirectory' => '/app/data', to 'datadirectory' => '/media/cloud',
cp -r /app/data/admin to the mounted volume and touch .ocdata in /media/cloud
That's pretty much it I reckon, if you log in now you have this extra storage available:

I have both, uploaded a few GB manually and the rest via sync client, no errors so far. A restart won't change the datadirectory, so this should continue working after reboots. Encryption is also enabled and working as intended, still waiting for something that doesn't work properly.
