With a SATA HDD alone it seems to work. I will try out the optical drive in another X86 Linux computer with a similar kernel (but without having a NVMe SSD available) to see what happens.
Changing the PSU would be my "last resort".

Yes, agreed, but was listing it for completeness.

And how do I enforce a new PCI bus scan (does reapplying the power to the optical SATA drive cause a new scan?)?

Perfectly safe.  SATA power and data cables are hotpluggable by design (you'll note the long ground pins on each connector, this is specifically for hotplug support).  You don't need to manually rescan anything; the kernel will see the hotplug event automatically and either add the device or fail trying (i.e. you'll probably see something in dmesg regardless of whether this works or not).

BTW: If you possible have hints or a link on how to debug a libata/marvel during booting of Linux I would try to do this (I know gdb quite well) but I am sure your time is rare so it is OK to ignore my wish ;-)

To be honest, that kind of hardware incompatibility would be very strange indeed.  Any chance you can try a different card in the same PCIe slot to see if the same problem is triggered?

At the moment I am suffering from the inability to boot into and see petitboot (even without any device attached except network cable at net3):

So do you mean to try any type of PCIe card (not neccessarily an NVMe adapter card because I have already used another adapter card but in the same slot)...
