I've identified two main contributors:
1.
I had Wall line width 0.5 leftover from my previous 0.4 Layer height prints. Having Layer Height at 0.2 now the WLW 0.5 made the ratio over 200%.
2.
With extruder spring very lightly tensioned and a sloppy spool sleeve the extruder had to pull on the filament cyclically which is mist probably what you see as big waves on the outer wall.

Final evening trial, I think, shows that's not Z wobble at least and that barely decent surface is still achievable on this printer...
Project file based on clean Cura default Draft profile, then top layer removed, Wall line count 1, infill removed.
(E steps 180 ; changing to calibrated ~185 again tomorrow)
One of the initial knobs on the left for comparison.

EDIT:
Also Z wobble test towers with banding that has barely anything to do with Z wobble. Also Flow Rate % in cura from 100 to 120 showed no discernable differences.
Further, RAW G-CODE test cubes shipped with the printer from factory. The semi-transparent one is almost 1 year old. The gray one is from today. While the seam is massive and I don't remember whether I used E steps 180 or 195, the walls are very nice, with no trace of wobble influence.
