Whether this is really just about a backing of the frame on one side (and which one) is a question of the staircase's construction. These things are connected to the flap: the weight of the staircase is supported by the flap and held by springs. Which forces act where and when may vary depending on the model. Possibly, the part of the frame above the "Antritt" is only decorative in terms of forces, but it could also be the crucial side. I consider it more expensive to clarify this for certain than the bargain potential when buying the staircase.

That would also be my preferred idea. Since it is a cold roof, I am considering buying a new (matching) staircase with a better U-value.

Standing height at the highest point is about 1 meter. We are building with a basement, so there is enough storage space there.

I would indeed have to take another close look at the staircase. It is already at my home and was basically free.

The unsuitable dimensions and the mediocre U-values make me currently tend to buy a matching staircase after all. Thanks for your opinions!

May I ask why you even used a concrete ceiling then? Wouldn't a wooden beam ceiling have been much more economical?
