Thanks for your quick reply, Bruce.

I have created a github issue, but I could unfortunately not tag it as
"wontfix" myself.

https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/issues/140

In my case, I will probably use latex (biblatex-apa) for this, as the
journal is very picky about their citations.

In case anyone is interested, another option to solve this is to use
and="symbol" and use a regex for post-processing.
This one works:
"([&])(?=\s+(?:[\w-]+ ){1,3}[(])" -> "and"
(unless there are punctuation characters in between the ampersand and
the year, e.g. for first names, or there is random ampersands followed
by brackets in the text)
