And also, some anecdata with sample size n = 1:

I mainly use Word, so note that my familiarity is biased in that direction.
However, I have used LibreOffice for long stretches of time in various work
environments. Anyway, this is my experience:

1. >95% of the time, I use the navigator to quickly jump between headings in a
large document. So, single-click >>>>>>>>> double-click (for me, at least). It
may not seem like much of a difference, but over the course of multiple clicks,
the additional hassle of a double-click really becomes noticeable.

2. <5% of the time, I create a new heading and oops, I set it to the wrong
level. For this, I assigned the keyboard shortcuts "Alt + Shift + Left" and
"Alt + Shift + Right" to the commands "Decrease Level" and "Increase Level"
respectively, and I use those to adjust the heading level. These are default
shortcuts in Word, but not in LO (afiak).

3. <1% of the time, I want to reorder some headings. Click-and-drag in LO's
navigator makes this really easy. In Word (my very obsolete version), I have to
go to outline view, set the show outline level accordingly to hide the text,
and then click and drag from there. If these are multiple sibling headings, I
do them one by one. But normally it's just one parent heading + multiple child
headings.

I don't really use the navigator for anything else.
