(Time to do advanced research again, and not just HTTPS link upgrades.)
(I was successfully able to export a Mii from Dolphin and all the way to Nintendo Switch, remarkably.)

=== Transfer Miis ===
===Transfer Miis between Dolphin-Wii or Dolphin-Dolphin===
Transferring Miis works only with real Wii Remotes. The time it takes to read/write the Miis on the Wii Remote can greatly vary depending of the Bluetooth adapter and stack used.

===Differing Mii Channel versions on Wii and Wii U, both with HACA GameID===
===Copy Miis from Dolphin to Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and/or Nintendo Switch===
In addition to the Mii Channel that is by far the most common one used in Dolphin, let alone on physical Wii consoles, there is another version used on vWii / Wii U that has the same GameID (HACA), but with several features absent, including "Transfer Mii", "Wii Friends", and "Wii Parade".
Transferring Dolphin Miis to later consoles is not so easy, due to Wii U's vWii ''Mii Channel'' lacking the import function (See the ''Differing Mii Channel versions (…)'' section below), and Dolphin not being able to send data (including Miis) to Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DS. It's not impossible, however.
 
Once a Mii has been copied to a physical Wii, the official methods for transferring Miis to Nintendo 3DS or Wii U, and onwards to Nintendo Switch, apply.
 
Alternately, ''Savegame Manager GX'' on both Dolphin and a softmodded Wii U, can be used to export and import .miigx files between each other. After importing the .miigx file has been imported to the Wii U vWii, the Wii U ''Mii Maker'' can select "Import from Wii Menu".
