Dear Wolfgang, dear Bruno, Thank you very much again for your time & effort!
I think one should leave grad-div stabilization out of the discussion, since it is only used as a counter-measure. It has nothing to do with inf-sup stability, but is rather used to additionally penalize violations of continuity of mass in the case of stabilized formulations through a penalty-term in the balance of linear momentum. I also checked up on the literature in V. John s book from 2016: FEM for incompr flow problems and what I found is, that in example 4.100 for stabilized Stokes shows nicely, that the velocity is converging quadratically & the order of the pressure convergence depends on viscosity and is in [1,2] for q1q1 elements (nu = 1e-10 giving ~2). So summing up, I was simply expecting too much it seems!
