Of course, make 6 backups before you do anything.

  I could also dump the SQLite data and reconfigure a different approach for 
  making the new data available to my application, e.g. MQTT.

If sometime wants to get current data as it happens, MQTT is great.  I
use that to send temp/etc. to Home Assistant.  HA then puts this is a
database, but HA has no way to query weewx's database.  And, if the net
is down, there is no backfill.  It sounds like you really want to do
database queries over time, and if so that's not really a good match for
MQTT.

   1.  install MariaDB on the WeeWx Pi
   2.  reconfigure WeeWx to use MariaDB using essentially the same steps as 
   a fresh install (should I do a fresh WeeWxinstall?)
   3. Pull data from SQLite and migrate it to MariaDB (best utility for 
   doing this?) so I have all the almost 2 years of collected data available.

You are not he first to want to do this, but it is, as I read the docs,
much easier: See

  http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_database_utility

and specifically --transfer.option.
