Oh my god.. I now get why I should definitely try a tutorial from the beginning. I simply dismissed the warning about having to ensure WSL 2 is used... instead WSL 1 was used - and docker did not want to work with Ubuntu 20.04 installed in WSL 1 (various errors regarding not having permissions for "bridge" or missing some "iptables").

After converting to WSL 2 (yes - converting), it finally seems to work. Thank you for this brilliant article!
