I would vote against a minimum width of tabs because it wouldn't fit into the
OS design and the mouse ways would be longer when switching through the tabs
for searching a setting.

I also don't see much benefit in the wide tabs layout in the current tabbed
notebookbar as shown in the screenshot from Andreas. You will have too few
space on small screens and it is a design users don't know from elsewhere. MSO
2013 hasn't so wide tabs, see

There were reasons for Mozilla switching from a vertical settings tree (sidebar
layout) to a horizontal settings tab layout long ago (the last change was an
issue of space I assume). Users are more confident with a tabbed horizontal
layout as most of LibO's dialogs have it today. Users with LTR and RTL writing
can easier search for horizontal information.
