Why does virtuemart offer an invoice header/footer Editor if it doesnt take any formatting/layouting from it?
is there a plugin that actually works?

The invoice editor works OK for me. What are you trying to do?

...yeah, a table works for the new layout

a table is also good for eating food and drinking water  :P I hope you dont misunderstand me, I just discovered that a table is good for eating AND for layouting stuff  :)

Basic installation VM 3.8.4
My invoice has the logo on the right side - I don't use float or another css style.

Where is problem?.

sorry, you need logo on right side.

Ok, then go in invoice header layout and change it - it used table for food :D

Table is used and you can create custom override without table.

can you layout the invoice without touching PHP Code? That stuff that is in between the header and the footer? practically

I think no, but I don't use invoice from VM.
There are many online invoice services, which create better invoice

as with most html to pdf libraries TCPDF only understands very basic html/css so as you found it is all a bit primitive.
The invoice is laid out in tables as are most pdf creators.
the templates are very basic so to adjust them is usually the easiest way

invoice.php
invoice_history.php
invoice_items.php
invoice_order.php

templates\your_template\html\com_virtuemart\invoice\invoice_items.php  etc  and get the invoice as you want it
