Then use the Flip button for something else!

Marker (The button works fine, but it does not "do" anything, as there is "Marke+Up" etc, but I don't have those buttons.) (see below)

Nudge (The button works fine, but it does not "do" anything, as there is "Nudge+Up" etc, but I don't have those buttons.) Moreover, I have no idea if the appropriate actions make any sense to me.

Maybe I can get a decent "Marker" functionality (e.g. set a marker when pressing a button (like with the Reaper stock implementation with the "Marker" button), and a "jump to next/previous Marker function e.g. by "Maker + Fast Forward / Backward") or similar.

In the supplied XTouch Zone files, Marker and Nudge are defined as modifiers. As you don't have Up and Down buttons (Marker+Up etc), these defintions aren't immediately useful to you. As you seem to be realising, why not change the definitions to use the transport buttons instead:

Marker+Play  Reaper 40157  // Insert marker at current or edit position
Marker+FastForward  Reaper 40173  // Go to next marker or project end
Marker+Rewind  Reaper 40172  // Go to previous marker or project start
Marker+Record  Reaper 40613  // Delete marker near cursor

The same approach can be used for Nudge. In reality, we are disussing the LayerA and LayerB buttons, which are used for Marker and Nudge when the Compact is set to MC mode (just wanted to be clear about that, it really is very confusing)

The buttons (i.e. Roraty Pushes) labelled (in the docs) "Track", "Send", PAN, "Plugin", "EQ", and "Instr" seem to do nothing at the moment. I suppose they are meant to "GoTo" other zones. But I did not yet get up to speed with the "GoTo" paradigm.

I might want to use some of them for other stuff e.g. to control modifiers etc.

You can use them for whatever you want

But generally I am lost on what workflow might make sense for Mixing. Here I can imaging using the faders for writing (volume) envelopes. But I am a bit lost regarding the envelope recording modes, yet. (And I am not really sure if this makes sense to me.)

You can use the faders to write automation, though you would need to use the mouse to set the automation mode as you don't have buttons for that.

Moreover, the Compact Motor faders are rather loud. Is there a possibility to momentarily switch off the feedback to the faders ?

Maybe try something like this in your Track.zon:

Flip+Fader| TrackVolume NoFeedback

Replacing: Flip+Fader| TrackPan
