OK, problem solved. Thank you so much for your helpful advice. Ultimately it was a combination of different issues and a fatal misconception on my side. But now I have figured out a way how to always have the servos set to the correct position for every single game automatically. It was a bit tricky though and requires some manual work (still on-going). It is not as "all-automatic" as I thought. Just as you said.

In the meantime I got this to work. But only for some of the games. Some games still require me to manually change between 4-way vs 8-way. To answer your question: No, I haven't set the primary controls for any games so far. I thought that in one of the many configuration files (mame.xml? controls.ini? Not sure.) someone from the community must already have stored the information whether it is a 4-way or an 8-way-game for all the games. Is this not the case? Do I have to manually set the controls and the 4-way/8-way settings for some of the games?

I have two ServoStiks and I can change between 4-way and 8-way using the software Ultimarc JoyTray. Works great! (both with right click on mouse and also with F4 and F8). However, when I am running LaunchBox and LEDBlinky, the servos do not move automatically depending on what type of game I launch. I tried many things already and now I ran out of ideas what I could have overlooked. Any ideas?
