Dear Maximilian,

My message was sent to the SeqFan list with great delay,
and in the meantime there has been significant progress in our research.

The sequence https://oeis.org/A308963
has been carefully checked and corrected by Max Alekseyev:

Hi Tomasz,

Now it's already a(7) there.
I've just used the definition with Bernoulli numbers (and no factorial) and
their p-adic continuity:
