That is exactly the correct formatting--the reflink for each footnote _must_
appear on the page where the footnote is added to the bottom of the page. The
blank space _will_ expand or contract page to page depending on the size of the
footnote for the reflink appearing on the page! Subsequent Paragraph content
holding reflink(s) is free to move to the following page to allow the preceding
footnote to grow.

No coincidence.

No, attachment 155413 was prepared is with 'Default' page and paragraph style
formatting with just paragraph line spacing set to double, as that seemed to be
the requested format.

It is not an appearance of solution--it is the only solution that is viable
(i.e. does not require major refactoring) page layout.

@adaw2 (not even the OP) has been unable to prepare legitimate, reproducible
example(s) screenshot(s) showing what formatting they seek, and what exactly is
perceived as lacking by using an appropriately formatted section to hold
paragraph and reflink'd footnotes.

My UX input remains as in comment 6 as this WFM, and should otherwise be a WF.

=> Unconfirmed and back for UX-advise.
