This now gives a toc looking the way I like.
May I lay at your foot a plea for a change/additional parameter here? \setuplist[][itemalign=left/right] or something in that sense.
For numbered chapters I consider an alignment as below most natural, although opinions may differ.
 8
 9
10
11
instead of
8
9
10
11

By the way, the \define[1] eludes me. Why this particular [1] there?

I didn’t think that exactly, but just tried it in despair and having the idea that toc items are set as an itemized list (it looks that way, isn’t it?).
