Wohoo, finally good news on my part! Everything working on my setup as far as I know, so I decided to share my solutions in a bit more detail. I hope this could help some of you guys battling the same shutdown and sleep issues.
Here's my setup (not certain of all names and I'm too lazy to check now):
- MOBO: GA-Z77X-UD5H (rev. 1.0!) with Bios version 14
- CPU: Intel i7-3770K
- GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX-670 OC
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
- Power: Corsair 1000 W
- HDs:
At the moment I'm running macOS 11.13.3 but I'm planning to update to the latest in a few days. I'll report after that whether anything got broken.
BIOS images (I undertand some of these might be of little interest but I'll include them anyway as some may wonder...)

For sound to work (especially troublesome with my rev. 1.0 mobo) I've applied Toleda's patch -- you'll find it well documented all over this forum.
And one final, but very important finding -- in my case, at least: I had to disable Adobe Creative Cloud syncing! It was preventing sleep. With that thing on, my display would go off a second or two but then immediately wake up again. Also, the disks and fans kept spinning. Therefore, it tried to enter hibernation but the syncing setting did not allow. For me, disabling the sync is no problem as I don't use Adobe Cloud anyway. Here's an image of that, too.

Of course, these settings will only work 100 % with a similar hardware setup. Bear also in mind that I'm no way very knowledgeable about any of this, so I'm counting on other guys here to walk you through the internal workings. It's also appreciated if anyone notices "strange things" (for example, in my Clover settings) or unnecessary boxes ticked -- feel free to comment and suggest! BUT I'm reluctant to change anything unless you are totally sure that the change won't produce unwanted effects. Getting the Hack to this state has been an infuriating process every now and then and I wouldn't like to mess it up.
Here's hoping that this could be of assistance to others too.
