When using the gtk3 VCL plugin, this also uses the gtk3/GNOME stack rather than
the Qt/KF5 one under the hood, so it doesn't necessarily mean that all problems
are LibreOffice-only. Whenever I was trying Plasma Wayland on my Debian
testing, I encountered too many general issues so I always switched back to
X11. The situation is certainly better when using KDE Neon or any other distro
with latest Plasma/KF5 (Debian testing has 5.20.5). There are certainly
problems that are LibreOffice's fault, this would need further analysis.

What you can try to avoid Wayland-specific problems is using the kf5 VCL plugin
with XWayland by setting this environment variable: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
(Ideally in some wrapper script for LibreOffice, so other Qt/KDE applications
are unaffected, in case you want to see how those behave with "real Wayland")
