Not a problem while under way , but when in a marina people might be tempted to try their luck, for example https://github.com/david-palma/wifi-cracking
Hostapd (openplotter-settings) still had an important advantage.
Found a solution! It's unfortunately not something that can be solved with the neat network manager GUI, but the CLI helps:
$ sudo nmcli con modify <APSSID> 802-11-wireless-security.proto rsnĀ
$ sudo nmcli con modify <APSSID> 802-11-wireless-security.pairwise ccmp
You probably need to restart (network manager) or disable and enable the connection for this to take effect. But afterwards (modern android) clients no longer complain about the WiFi having weak security.
Thanks for the help everyone!
