I managed to get the situation under control thanks to advice from Discord.
I booted the MacBook in emergency mode while holding down the Shift key. Booting was successful but at such a resolution that I almost needed a magnifying glass to see the letters.

Indeed, after this procedure I was able to boot normally but the screen brightness control and keyboard backlight did not work, a root patch was required.
I wanted to re-patch root but the system screamed that there were some updates in readiness for installation, indeed there were. You should absolutely disable automatic system updates.
Then again advice from Discord helped to deactivate updates and free up the ability to patch root...:

and specifically the use of the purgePendingUpdate tool described in this thread...:

Then root and everything works as it should again.
