I have both M/S office products and Libre Office on W10 & W11
laptops. The reason for that is, clients are tied to M/S so I
have to use Office 365 for interfacing with them. I use Libre
office when I do not want M/S to use One Drive, or otherwise
don't need M/S software (We have our own file server which we use
in-house).
So beware. If you turn off One Drive, M/S Office products will
not autosave (in my experience with W10 or W11). They will not
recover if M/S decides you need to reboot to finish updates.
Try to get M/S Support to see/recognize this as a problem. One
Drive is common to M/S office apps and I think the bug is in One
Drive. It wants to write to local disk, and then send your data
into the M/S cloud.
But back to Libre Office: It does about 90% of what M/S Office
products do (Word, & XL are what I use). Word is better at
formatting documents than is Libre office in my experience. And
XL has more features than Libre.

Same here. I use Libre office. I prefer it over Microsoft office.
