Could someone advise why I should turn off the hardware acceleration on U22 to avoid serious stuttering for an older 720p mkv video file while the same mkv is played flawless on U1 with hw acceleration on?

mkv is just the container, knowing the video encoding within the mkv would offer more insight. With that said I do not see the U22 having less hardware codec support than the U1 :unsure:

is that using the same version of Kodi on both the U1 and the U22 ?

It is an AVC, 755 kb/s, 960x720 (4:3), at 23,976 FPS, AVC (High@L.4.1) (CABAC / 16 RefFrames) with an AC-3 192kb/s audio stream.

I've setup a CoreELEC on the U22 and with that it's played correctly on U22 as well now. Not to mention that all other functions, passthrough, etc. are working correctly as well, even CEC is working better.

To answer the 2nd question I'll check and compare the KODI versions on the U1 and the non-CoreELEC U22 but I think both has the latest available version (which can be downloaded from googleplay. It's interesting however that the CoreELEC Kodi version has more options for HW acceleration than the original U22 or U1 has.
