Long story made short. Apart from the graphic invite never showing (just plain
old vga text messages scrolling), on the first few installations, there were
some random problems ranging from not shutting down to missing the Qubes system
tray icon, but it was installing.
Some red lines in dmesg, apparently unrelated to the issue(s), since, more or
less, the same messages were shown after installing Debian 10, and fixed with
some firmware (iwliwifi, realtek, and the nvidia driver).
Now, installation is impossible. The hardware is detected until the the USB boot drive,
attached as a SCSI device (5:0:0:0). The size, serial number and so on is displayed, then
it freezes for some time before showing an endless "dracut-initqueue timeout"
message.
I'm at a loss.
Just in case: Intel i7-8750H, GeForce MX150
Nvidia is always a red flag. You could try the troubleshooting guide or
installing a driver:

Since nvidia is generally a source a problems, I'd check to see if you
can change the BIOS/UEFI settings to turn off the Nvidia GPU and switch
to integrated Intel graphics (if available). That should raise the
compatibility profile substantially.
