I did this, but then the clicks by tapping don't work at all anymore. 
I.e. mouse cursor follows my finger, but I cannot activate anything.

Do you think I should still proceed this way, given above?

Yes, I know. For a start, I'd be quite happy to get a single finger and 
a nice onscreen keyboard working properly.

You mean hid-multitouch or some other one? The hid-multitouch didn't 
work, because the USD IDs are not registered and apparently the udev 
rules trich failed as well. I'll try adding the IDs and recompile the 
kernel, if you think that will make it work properly.
