I asked Sam about this. He said that since libreoffice-bin was updated
in 24.8.4 and 25.2.0 (both currently limited to testing keywords, i.e.
~amd64 only) to use the upstream libreoffice.org binaries, they don't
include the Qt5 or Qt6 plugins at all, and at this point he isn't really
interested in messing with the "old" version that is currently stable.
So as soon as an updated libreoffice-bin is stabilized your problem
should disappear.

It does conceptually need "fixing", yes, it's just that since the entire
package has been redesigned to use upstream binaries it is no longer
considered worth investing time and effort into the old ebuild.

The new ebuild will be stabilized hopefully within the month anyway so I
would just wait for that and ignore qtx11extras for now.
