Tried another system, that uses systemd instead of sysvinit.
There configuration works as expected.
I can set a static IP using dbus/connmanctl and it stays static after reboot.
Also the /var/lib/connman/ethernet_MAC_cable/settings file is updated
immediately.
Do newer connman versions depend on systemd?
Thank you for your help.

Maybe we are talking past each other. ConnMan stores the current
configuration /var/lib/connman/ethernet_MAC_cable/settings. The current
configuration means the stuff you tell ConnMan via D-Bus. Any change via
D-Bus will be stored into settings immediately. So it is persistent. If
you try to modify the settings file by hand and ConnMan is running in
the background your change will be overwritten.
On the other hand, the provisioning file is under control of the user.
So if you don't want to configure your system via D-Bus for some reason
you can use the provisioning 'interface'.

Consider settings as a binary file and you should not modify yourself.
Obviously, you could create a settings file when ConnMan doesn't run but
this is not really a supported way to do things.

I hope I answered the question above.

Glad this works for you.

Not intentionally. There might be an unknown bug but there is no reason
why ConnMan shouldn't work with a sysvinit based system. I guess there
are plenty of Yocto based images with ConnMan out there.
