Yes, it does.
EDIT: At least I tested reading heartrate data from a ANT+ HR sensor from time to time. And that worked.

Strange, same boot problems after updating as with the previous 2 verions: always reboots to trwp after installing from Ota. Will try the same as last time
UPDATE:
again tried to follow your hints from the March update (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...1-for-xperia-z1-compact.4007983/post-84656157), incl. full formatting of /data then restoring internal memory etc. Then, after the manual update of this full LOS version I again still end up in that bootloop that finally gets me back into twrp.
I tried to uninstall Magisk 22.1 at various stages in my restore / update flow (first after an update, and then once again before the next update) , but that didn't help either.
Wiped Dalvik multiple times, did multiple SELinux corrections + repair of /data and /system file systems, but I can't get the device to boot into the May update.
Since I already did a complete fresh / clean install back in March I don't feel much like doing that once again.
Instead, I'll stick with the April one for now.
If you want to have some kind of log let me know.

Really it works with my Ciclo heart rate sensor in Locus Map pro.
Additionally I can activate the other sensors (cadence and speed) too.
Thank you.

Hmm... Difficult to comment.
Some thoughts:
You use Magisk. Did you flash Magisk from recovery, so a "survival script" has been installed? Or did you use the "patch & flash boot.IMG" method? The former is meanwhile considered obsolete by Magisk docu.
Could that survival script cause the trouble?
Also, seems that most recent versions of Magisk in general cause trouble with our Z1c, there is an open issue right now.
Also, when doing OTA update and using Magisk, it is key that the /data partition is accessible during the TWRP update execution, so never skip the decryption passphrase, in case your device is encrypted.
Also, seems that for older devices not running on the latest Android main version, the newest Magisk versions introduce trouble, so may be wise to stick with an older version.
Last, but not least, it may be an idea to temporarily deactivate all Magisk modules before the update. Also, do you maybe have an app requiring root, which auto-starts at boot? Also a potential troublemaker...
I don't use Magisk myself, just some thoughts - maybe others have any idea?
In my OP7T thread, a Magisk issue could be solved by using a version from Beta channel, but the OP7T has a crazy a/b partition layout, whilst the Z1c most probably requires an older version of Magisk...
Edit: Yes, if you can produce a log, this could always help.

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Magisk:
yes that was my first thought as well. So what I did after the OTA update failed, and being back at recovery, was to first run a Magisk uninstaller script. Tried to boot back to system, but ran into the same loop.
Next I restored my April build backup, and booted to system to check. Booted back to recovery, ran the Magisk uninstaller, then flashed the update image. Result was the same: no way to boot to system.
Honestly, I currently doubt that Magisk is the root of all evil here. But I may be wrong.
To be honest, I never heard of a "survival script" before. Any way to check whether tat still is there after uninstalling Magisk?
How did I install Magisk? That's been years ago, back then flashing from recovery was the only way known to me, and since then I updated from the Magisk.apk every time there was an update. Right now I'm running the latest version (23), yesterday it was still V22.1
OK, there was my clean flash back in MArch: after I did that I first installed Magisk V20.3, then again ran the updates from Magisk Manager.
I'm not using any modules, so honestly I don't really care whether I use Magisk or not as long as I have a rooted device. Any recommendations? I assume that the old Lineage SU tool is outdated, too.
Else I indeed could try an older version; I still have an old V 18.1 lying around somewhere; you think that's old enough?
The device is not encrypted so that can't be an issue here.
root apps in use: only 2 different file managers, Titanium, Termux + a 2nd Terminal Emulator + Shell - that's all there is in Magisk's superuser list. I don't really think one of them would start on system boot. But who knows?
Finally in regards to a log:
please be patient with me, I'm a complete dummy when it comes to android logs. So: given the fact that my device always boots back to recovery: which kind of log would I then create? Would I get it through ADB while in recovery, or would I use some command from TWRP's terminal, or would I use TWRP's "copy log" tool?

What I call "survival script" is the stuff stored in /system/addon.d - please check, whether you find any file there with the name "magisk" in it.
Normally, during an update, the entire /system partition is replaced. This however would mean, that everything, you have flashed via recovery onto the /system partition, like e.g. Gapps, would be lost after an update. Therefore, there is a mechanism within the flash process to execute the scripts in the /system/addon.d directory with a specific parameter, which first copies certain stuff and of course the scripts themselves into a temporary place, then the /system partition is replaced, and then the saved stuff is flashed again (by executing the same script again with a post-install parameter).
Magisk normally does not aim at modifying the /system partition, but it also used to store such a script there, to simply re-patch /boot and restore Magisk. Later versions of Magisk work differently, and if for whatever reason such an old Magisk survival script still is present, it will do the things, which have been meaningful in an older version, but not now. Hence we have a potential trouble maker.
You said you did a clean flash, but did you really wipe the /system partition, too? Or, did you maybe restore your old /system partition via TWRP, which would also restore /system/addon.d with those scripts ?
No luck either: was able to locate and remove that addon.d script, but it didn't help, i.e. bootloop after next update.
Then after having restored the April build I removed Magisk the official way (through its app). Checked for the addon.d script but that was gone. New update attempt failed again.. Am back at the April build now. Thanks nevertheless
As far as I remember I performed a complete wipe of everything from TWRP back then. I then didn't restore anything from a backup but did a fresh install of your LOS image, then installed a few crucial apps (my preferred launcher + Titanium and finally restored the few needed apps and their data from Titanium. That's how I usually proceed in cases like these

Then I don't have any good ideas any more... - just to be complete: Could you please list the contents of your /system/addon.d directory?
Right now it's 50-lineage.sh + 99-magisk.sh.
That's because I'm now back at the April build, with Magisk V23 installed and running.
Allow me to repeat my previous question: if the recent versions of Magisk are causing such troubles on our old device, then what other root / superuser solution can I use instead?
Nevertheless, as I listed before: the update problems occur no matter whether Magisk is installed or not (if uninstalled I made sure that the addon.d script was gone as well).
Anyways, next thing I'll try is to switch to 115ek's V18.1; that'll be another clean wipe and a fresh installation, then I'll see what happens. Thanks for your patience, once again. And: any ideas are still welcome!

OK, then we can forget about this being the trouble maker.
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any other current opensource root solution, which works on LineageOS 17.1.
There must be anything specific with your device - I always test the stuff before publishing and nobody else has complained either.
Just to be sure: When you make a full nandroid backup of your current April setup in TWRP (because you would like to get back to that state), then you wipe all of the following: system, data, cache & dalvik and flash the "naked" variant A, and you really don't install/restore anything else (even if you are 100% sure, that it won't have an impact) - does it boot properly [Y/N]? That should be the starting point...
(And sorry if I insist on this, you maybe did exactly that already)
Whatever will help you is fine, if it is to continue with 18.1, then 18.1 it is - but please first do, what I suggested in the previous section.
Hmm - I usually just restore a nandroid without previously wiping everything. Because the terminal output during the restore tells that it's wiping partitions I never felt that was necessary. But if you think that wiping before restore would make a difference I could try that.
One more thought: before March I never had trouble updating, OTA or manually. And with March and April builds I managed to update after some trouble. So something must have changed, whatever that is.
Btw: I'm fully aware that the current situation is very specific, never had any doubts in regards to quality of this ROM.

No, what I mean is really to do as I have described: Wipe everything, install the naked ROM and DON'T restore anything. Does it boot [Y/N]?
If it boots (which I am quite sure), the root cause is to be found in some stuff, which you restore. If it doesn't boot, there is a bigger issue...
As indicated, I have the suspicion, that you always somehow "restore the thing causing the trouble"...
So my idea would be to choose the following approach (of course, verify after each step that all is fine):
- Wipe everything (but DON'T format the /data partition, because you still need the internal memory)
- Install the naked ROM (and Gapps, if this is part of the game)
- Connect via adb root + adb shell and check, that on your Internal memory, the Magisk directories are really purged
- Install Magisk from scratch
- Install Titanium
- Step by Step restore the apps via TB, which you need - but only those, where installing from scratch would be inconvenient
- . . .

That's a drastic step - this would be my recommendation, if my advice to do the "wipe all and install the naked ROM" wouldn't succeed . . .
But see my last post, there is still hope
Jipp, I can imagine that's a lot of work, but imho the only way to be sure to have a clean basis.Please understand that I don't "Like" this
But nevertheless if I were you I first would try @MSe1969 's suggestion
Yes, it does boot: I made a separate backup of internalMemory first, then did a complete wipe incl. formatting /data. Flashed the may build and booted without any problems.
So I felt lucky:
- restored my latest Nandroid (i.e. April build), booted to system
- uninstalled Magisk from the Magisk app, rebooted to system to make sure that everything was alright; checked for any leftover Magisk folder or scripts, couldn't find any
- rebooted to recovery, formatted /data (still had my InternalMemory backup, rebooted to recovery to be sure
- booted to system where of course I had to re-setup the device
- restored my InternalMemory backup, not before checking it thouroughly and removing anything that could be related to Magisk, then rebooted to recovery
- flashed the May build, tried to reboot to system - and again I ended up in a bootloop
Meanwhile I'm back at my mentioned Nandroid, planning to do a complete clean installation, without restoring anything from IM. Hope that works
