Is it just for the I field (local interface used) or also for the shown
remote IP address? The quoted text doesn't mention the local interface
at all.

How does that look like in the log file?

I=[nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]*


2. I see log lines like these:

2020-12-27 08:02:06 1ktQ44-0074VW-Qi => username@???
<othername@???> F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...
2020-12-27 17:39:25 1ktZ4m-008ljc-Is => user.name@???
<User.Name@???> F=<...> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp ...

It's not documented what these two addresses mean.

Section 7:

"For ordinary local deliveries, the original address is given in angle
brackets after the final delivery address, which might be a pipe or a
file. If intermediate address(es) exist between the original and the
final address, the last of these is given in parentheses after the final
address."


Which of the two addresses, if present, is the one I should care about?

You haven't defined what you care about.
