I removed the INBOX. prefix, and things work like a charm now! (I actually didn't include the alias for compatibility, it's not necessary with thunderbird and rather seems to confuse it as it lists folders twice under "folder" and "Inbox/folder".)
thank you, Timo, for the excellent support and of course for dovecot!

I got one step further with this! now I see the shared namespace in the client.
however, when I try to subscribe I get:

I guess your primary namespace has INBOX. prefix? You could decide to either deprecate the INBOX. prefix and use it only for compatibility with old clients:
namespace private { prefix = inbox = yes } namespace private { prefix = INBOX. alias_for = list = no hidden = yes }
Or you could keep the INBOX. as the primary namespace and use a kludgy workaround to catch the subscriptions:
namespace private { prefix = alias_for = INBOX. list = no hidden = yes }
