One last question if you allow: minimumTabSize and maximumTabSize don't behave exactly like I initially thought they would. For example, setting minimumTabSize = maximumTabSize = some_value made me expect
all tabs would now be of identical (horizontal) width, at any time, but that's not the case (long file names still get wider tabs than what is set in maximumTabSize).
That's by design I assume, as in: maximumTabSize only kicks in when the tab bar overflows. Did I get that right?

Sort of, yes. I now realize that tabItemMaxWidth is a bit of a misnomer because it’s actually tabItemDefaultWidth.

That is, by default, each tab item will be the width set using this setting. If the tab bar overflows, they’ll be shrunken, but never to less than tabItemMinWidth, however, if one tab item has excess space and another item would be truncated, we redistribute, as we do with everything here in Scandinavia :)
