Is there a way to call up the virtual instrument (or first device) of a track via keyboard shortcut?

Yes but it doesn't really work like it does in other DAWs. I remember talking about this before but say you have something before your instrument, then this method fails. It's called toggle device window so what I do is hit D to bring up the device pane which puts the first device in focus. Then V which is the keyboard shortcut I have set to bring up the instrument.

"Toggle Device Window" seems to be the one. However it behaves similar to Ableton Live where you somehow first have to "select" the instrument (device) manually by hand before it works...

Yes if you're already clicked on another device in the chain. But if you're on another channel and you click to the one you want, pressing D will put the first device in focus. That's just how it is for this style of DAW.
