Okay, just a quick "natural light" shot of the new setup, up and running since yesterday.

I'm just almost all ideas I had appear to have had the desired effect (some minor deficiencies emerged, but I'll put up with those):
- I now have a "virtual whiteboard" for tele-teaching: The Wacom One works as intended. I can now use the stylus with OneNote, Whiteboard and of course other applications without any major issues (though it's not multitouch, i.e. not recognised as a touchscreen, so OneNote doesn't allow use of a ruler, but that's minor).
- The little side monitor makes it simple to keep some information (like a text or script) visible at all times without having to switch applications. In a pinch (which won't happen now, but anyway), I can use the Wacom tablet as another screen as well. I virtually doubled my screen real estate, made it more versatile, and what's more, ergonomics are really good now as well.
- The webcam makes a world of difference - even though I have to blur the background most of the time (way too busy, but no space for a physical screen ...).
- Everything is close at hand, including storage and backup, plus there's now enough space for paper and books that won't get in the way anymore.
On a slightly different note, this means that I was able to (finally!) away quite a lot stuff, including three laptops I used occasionally because they offered some feature or other the big machine didn't. It's all solved now to an at least satisfying degree - this took some off-the-beaten-track thinking, but it seems to have worked
