I think the uno:Delete command has the Delete key assigned to it via
Accelerators.xcu:

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=%22uno%3ADelete%22&defs=&refs=&path=officecfg&hist=&type=&xrd=&nn=1

So it's possible to change it in the Keyboard dialog, like OP asked on the
Users ML.
Changing the global shortcut of Delete Contents to (just for an example)
Shift+Ctrl+D and unassigning the existing Writer-level command of Shift+Ctrl+D
works as expected.

This covers the editors, but not all dialogs, side bars (Gallery comes to mind)
etc where it is explicitly handled by code. That was not asked for though, as
far as I understand. 

All in all: feature wise -> NAB; but documentation (extended/normal tooltip)
could be more detailed.

Also the option to switch between generic shortcuts and application-specific
ones (selected by default) could be made more prominent after an upcoming
redesign of the whole tab (bug #115527 - also see similar requests bug # 83548
and bug #66298). 

Currently the extended help says: "Displays shortcut keys that are common to
all %PRODUCTNAME applications." [1]
while there is no default tooltip - setting something for that sounds
actionable for the short term.
