I have a few questions:

1) persistence: as I can regenerate the configuration files (mailman,
   mailman-web, hyperkitty), is all what's useful in the DB, or are some
   things in /var/lib/mailman3 worth saving?

      obviously messages to be moderated, hyperkitty failed messages,
      etc are stored there, but shall I assume that all mailing-lists
      configuration, all users configuration and all archives are
      in the DB?

I don't know the details of where the Debian package puts things, but there may be Postfix related files in /var/lib/mailman3/data, but yes, all mailing-lists configuration, all users configuration and all HyperKitty archives are in the DB?

2) I imported a list and all messages get a footer of:
      %(web_page_url)slistinfo/%(_internal_name)s
   which I guess changed between MM2 and MM3; however when I
   look at that list configuration in the web interface of MM3,
   I see no templates defined, nor any clue where this is
   configured: where may I change this?

import21 creates these templates in (I think in your case) /var/lib/mailman3/templates.

3) is there a configuration somewhere that can allow someone to
   create a mailman web account ONLY if he is already referenced
   somewhere in a mailing-list, and not otherwise? (or to
   create accounts that need approvals from an admin
   before being usable?)

No.

   also, can a non-yet-referenced e-mail From: still subscribe to
   a private list (confirm+moderate) via e-mail regardless of
   the above?

Yes
