Hi. I did mostly solve this problem. In case others are interested, here is what we’re doing.
1. You can use the WooCommerce Bulk Discount plug-in https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-bulk-discount/. This lets you assign a discount to products based on the quantity of that specific product. Very simple. No coupons used. If a coupon is applied, then the discount is removed. You can define several layers based on minimum quantities. We are using this for our use case. The disadvantage is that the bulk discount applies immediately and directly and you miss out on possible interaction with the customer when a coupon is applied.

2. If you want to use coupons and you don’t have a lot of different products, you can finely tune how the coupons are applied, so that a specific coupon only applies to a specific product. You can limit its usage by requiring only that product in the cart. It’s rather restrictive this way, but at least you don’t have to worry about another product raising the cart balance and causing the coupon to apply when it shouldn’t. We are going to define several limited-case coupons with very selective scenarios.

3. I’m marking my problem as solved, but it would be better if you could get coupons to work with specific product quantities, especially when the products are events. Sellers are willing to give discounts when groups of people attend the same event (think seminar, courses, conferences, etc.).
