I use Darktable 3.0.2 (the latest version as far as I know).
I have read about the base curve module in the user manual. I understand
the mechanics about changing the curve, but the whole concept is very
abstract to me.

I have enabled the base curve with preset "sony alpha like" (since I have
Sony cameras), and that is better than without.
But I have a hard time understanding how to manually edit the base curve in
a useful way. I can edit it, and I see how the image changes, but it feels
quite random to me. I don't know what to do to get the result I want.
Most of the presets are for specific camera makers, so it's hard to know
which one to chose. Does it even make sense to use a preset for another
camera than the one taking the photo?

·A base curve is applied automatically but if you look in the preset
options you may find another you prefer. You can also create your own
for future use.
you don't say what version dt you employe but a better approach would be
to enable filmic and follow:
https://discuss.pixls.us/t/darktable-3-0-for-dummies-in-3-modules/15849
as advised in this thread.
about base curve:
https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/modules.html
3.4.1.4.Base curve
fwiw, I have filmic enabled.
