In /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg I see:

Should I change the latter to be something like:
url: mysql+pymysql://mailman3:NopeNotPastingThat@localhost/mailman3?charset=utf8mb4&use_unicode=1
Yes, either make it charset=utf8mb4 or I think dropping the charset= option altogether will use the database default, however I'm not clear why this would be the issue as this only controls how Mailman core accesses the database, and your issue is with HyperKitty/Django and its access is controlled by the DATABASES setting in Django's settings which you say do specify 'charset': 'utf8mb4' in OPTIONS.
Also, it seems Mailman core is not even using the same database - i.e.
mailman3 whereas Django's is mailman3web.
