I was wrong. LuaTeX has an option --output-format=dvi
and I checked that it works, so the downside is gone.

Unfortunately the musixtex script does not allow non-default
parameters to the individual steps, nor in my opinion should it,
being a convenient general-purpose tool. So you need to
do the last two steps by hand.
