Update:

I talked to the Dell support today, to get to speak to ProSupport. Turns out I am required to have purchased specifically the "developer edition" and not a random Dell XPS 13, else my Ubuntu issues don't justify a refund. Nice.

But the support people were helpfull in that they found out, that the "developer edition" is advertised to have a different wifi chipset compared to the windows versions. The Ubuntu ones have the 6230 and not the 6235:

These chips are really different:
