LO uses HSQLDB 1.8 (so quite old). The goal was first to get rid of Java and
Firebird was the only candidate which:
- has license compatibility
- allows to call it:
  - client/server (client is LO Base, Firebird is the server)
  - embedded Firebird (no external Firebird server)
  - has C/C++ connector
- mature enough

There've a lot of work from different people then it slowed down until almost a
stop because people moved on other things.
So now we're in the middle of the bridge:
- Firebird implementation in LO isn't stable enough (just consider the number
of bugs)
- the old HSQLDB version remained

I think there's no need to submit new tickets but it's only my opinion.
To put it clearly, I think Base part is (almost?) dead.

I'll let other decide, I'm neither a TDF member nor an expert.

If you don't need embedded, I'd move towards MariaDB.
If you need embedded, I think that badfully, I'd stick on HSQLDB.
Again, just my opinion.
