Hi A.Schulze,
Want to take your attention to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7919 and
https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/ as it can change your view a bit on DH.
This keys are publicly available f.e.
https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/ffdhe4096.txt

About key size, if you go above 2048, you already break some old software
so there no reason to stick to 3072, go with 4096...
