The silicone oil made a world of difference. I got 2 hours into a 4 hour print without any filament sticking to the nozzle!
Unfortunately, that's when the temperature sensor failed. I'm sure it's unrelated, but I think it's final sign that it's time for me to give up on this printer.

Some people experimented with "socks" around the nozzle in the past:
Having said that, it has never really been a problem with any of my Ultimaker printers sofar, but maybe I am just lucky.

Those nozzle socks are interesting, but I think the real gem in that thread is wiping the nozzle with a little silicone lubricant before printing. So thanks for pointing me to that!
