Android app unable to access SDCard on Jolla Tablet

For all I care this problem probably comes up the millionth by now..

There used to be a problem (and still is) with the Jolla Phone that the SDCard gets mounted too late resulting in Android apps not being able to access the SDCard until Android support is manually shutdown and restarted. For example see: https://together.jolla.com/question/107380/bug-11928-sailfishos-20-mounts-sd-card-too-late-for-android-support/?sort=votes&page=1

Our household has had two Jolla phones for quite some time now that have to do this shutdown/restart cycle for Android support every time the SDCard needs to be accessed by an Android app.

Now our household is also housing one Jolla Tablet. The problem is that this shutdown/restart is not working on the Tablet and leaves it completely without access to the SDCard.

I have no idea if I did some "additional magic" in the past with the help of going through the NUMEROUS discussions about problems with SDCards in general. That's for certain I won't bother doing so this time.

One thing I can say how I have it on the phones: mmcblk1-mmcblk1p1 vfat /opt/alien/media/sdcard/[SDCard UUID]

whereas on the Tablet: mmcblk1-mmcblk1p1 vfat /media/sdcard/[SDCard UUID]

Any ideas how to fix it THIS TIME when shutting down and restarting Android support does not help anymore?
