Well, this is interesting. I found the solution which is rather easy, yet not all that obvious to find.
Apparently xinput (cli tool) offers a setting "Wacom Hover Click" which turns the side button on. Of course that yields the question why that setting is not covered by xsetwacom. Is it that some settings can only be set by xinput cli and others only by xsetwacon cli? Sounds a little strange to me - I would rather expect all settings to be handled by xsetwacom (I would even prefer if all settings were handled by xinput).
