(

but although I edited the hosted engine's profile those changes weren't
applied - and after an engine restart even deleted again. That kind of
makes sense to me, but limits my options.
Please see this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1590943
with engine 4.2.5-1 you can definitively enable the serial console device
editing the engine VM from the engine itself.
If you are not able to reach the engine VM for the upgrade, you can
copy /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf somewhere, edit it to add the
console device and restart the hosted-engine VM with a custom vm.conf with
something like:
hosted-engine --vm-shutdown --vm-conf=/root/my_vm.conf
As an alternative, VNC console should work as well; you can set VNC
password with
hosted-engine --add-console-password
