Ah well, thanks anyway. :-)

But does that mean the Xbox/GP versions don't have the option to join a (dedicated) server directly via FQDN/IP:port ?

no they do, that's what the join code in the pause menu is for alongside the server list.
i just think they can't start them, it requires the tool for the dedicated server which is only on pc.

Just did what I should have done before ...
According to the official Crossplay FAQ[www.valheimgame.com]:

1. you can join a dedicated server from an Xbox console just as normal, provided that both your Xbox and the server have crossplay enabled.
   
2. You can't set up a dedicated server on an Xbox.
   
3. If you have the game through the Microsoft store your (dedicated server) files will be stored in the following folder: C:\XboxGames\Valheim\Content\Server

1. This is an oxymoron in my opinion because joining a server "just as normal" equals joining directly via FQDN/IP:port (to me) which is in direct conflict with "requiring crossplay".
So no - they can't join a server vie FQDN/IP:port

2.+3. You were ~2/3rds right. Xbox can't but GP can run dedicated servers.
