I have some footage that I shot with a GoPro8, it's good quality as far a GoPro can go if I watch it before editing. After exporting (60 fps, 16Mbps target bitrate, H.264 encoding, 4K resolution) I can see pixellation, as in the light sky of attached picture. I have tried increasing the target bitrate, but to no avail. What's the cause and how can I solve the problem?

That is your answer.
Not just the sky but the entire pictuer does not look that great.
Please upload original clip for testing.

I'll share the Google Drive files because YouTube would modify them further.

Its not 4K but 1080p.
change your sequence setting to 1080p
Also original is 50p export is 60p. Might want to correct that.
Please post export settings.

Sequence settings are:
1920 x 1080
00;44;47;09, 100,00 fps
48000 Hz - Stereo
I created the sequence by dragging one clip onto the timeline, it happens to have been 100 fps.
Export settings are as follows:
1920 * 1080 (1,0) - 60 fps
Progressive VBR 2 pass
Target 16 Mbps, Max 40 Mbps
AAC, 320 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo
The footage was shot in 50 and 100 fps.

I gather the 100 fps clip is for slomo.
I would go for a 50p sequence and export to 50p.

Do you think this is the reason why the pixellation became more evident after exporting?

You need to do some testing yourself.
If I follow my own advice I see no pixalation although the original footage does not have great image quality.
If you have Protune or what ever turned on in the GoPro turn that off.

That´s not the main reason but mis-matching those settings will give other quality problems. The main reason is too low bit rate combined with the not-so-great H264 encoder that are shipped with Premiere Pro. It can be great sometimes but fails big time in videos like this with water and lot´s of fine details such as lot´s of reed straws that moves. The original footage has a bit rate of approx 40 Mbps, so try to encode with a bitrate closer to that. 16 Mbps as target won´t cut for this kind of footage.
I get great results when i use TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in AVC for Premiere Pro. Download a trial and test for 14 days without any restrictions or watermarks.

That plugin looks useful ... hmmm.
