Could $wgUseSharedUploads (and associated settings) not be used to
accomplish this? I've used this previously without issue (admittedly, only
up to 1.15.x).
I realise it was "replaced" by $wgForeignFileRepos, but I have to agree that
it is extremely difficult to understand how to use the setting from the
documentation. Setting up a "wiki family" with shared images using
UseSharedUploads was fairly straight-forward, but I can't even figure out
with certainty if it is possible with ForeignFileRepos (maybe ForeignDBRepo?
It's not clear), let alone how to actually accomplish it...
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Kilian, thank you for your reply. I tried
understanding
Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos but without much success. Anyway, thank you
very much. Maybe I should just treat them as two separate websites.

That's not possible, each wiki stores information about its images in a
database table. What is not in the table will not be found.
If you want to share images between two or more MediaWiki installations,
here's what you need:
