So isnt this same broken rendering appearing when a user open a .docx file that
uses 1.08 or 1.15 line spacing? So what do we do with such files that user are
regularly editing with LO?

Not sure if they 'have to be resolved/refactored', but yes it would be more
ideal if they were fixed, but that argument could be made for all the broken
functionality available in LO, but that shouldn't stop other improvements to be
made that may show/expose this unresolved issue.

I'm fine with waiting for these issues to be resolved if there is some momentum
in fixing them, but dont think we should wait years (bug 44267 was opened in
2011) hoping that things get fixed and deny users a better looking/designed
default document layout.
