Fortunately not! The SuSE support pointed me to an option that wasn't
documented in the SLES 12 manual section about wicked (but that I could
have found when googling with the correct keywords :-(): Adding

STARTMODE='nfsroot'

in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 (instead of auto, onboot, 
manual etc) has exactly the wanted effect: Shutting down wicked, e.g. 
by "systemctl stop wicked" leaves the devices with this option running.
In yast this option can be marked, but I never use yast and to all the
configs manually, so I missed it there, too.

Anyway, problem solved ;-)

cu,
Frank
