Thank you for your really good answers and advise mikegi!
As the wallet containing the z-address I mined to does not contain coins, I don't have to transfer anything before I can send the .dat file.
I'll go ahead and follow those steps:
- make a new wallet on a VM and generate a t-address
- send the old wallet and the new t-address to eXtremal
- backup the old wallet just in case, even if it's very unlikely any coins end up in it

Yep, sounds right.
Happy, that you appreciate my answer. It feels good to be able to write something helpful.
Myself, I had produced shares worth about 0.00001 to a z address while figuring out how compile and run get the miner working... Switched to the t address early enough. It might have almost been worth a coffee at a gas station if I started mining on the the first day and sold for 200 BTC/Zcash. :-)
