>1. We have a lot of problem with SVG now in LibreOffice

Not my opinion. Do you talk about import or export? SVGIO is currently only
import. Using something else will also need *lots* of work - I do not think
that an external library will import to Objects that we iternally use?
With an own lib we can fix needed stuff anytime, we have control.

>2. We don't have any developers for improvement our svgio

I am here :-) And others, too.

>3. resvg is external library with own author.

One guy, right. Will he fix bugs we request to-be-fixed? Will he add stuff that
we need? Will he stay?

>4. resvg has license MPL 2.0, that allows use it in to LibreOffice

true.

As said, we have no good SVG export, but import using svgio is fine. It
converts with high quality to Primitives, it keeps the unchanged SVG as
original in ODF, it can be broken to SdrObjects.
That last step can (always) be improved. SdrObjects can do less things that SVG
-> will never be optimal.

But that's exactly the same with an external lib.
If you expect to use an external lib and then be able e.g. to edit SVG in
Draw/Impress/otherApps, that's not the case.
