Since my switch from MS Office to Libre Office, the only major issue has been with databases. Almost impossible. Spreadsheets, Word documents, presentations have all been fine with just a bit of tweaking. Care needs to be taken when saving anything. There are many options for file formats including most MS, but sometimes the default is Libres own odt, which is a bit oddball.

.. and on the plus side, it even does a better job of reading MS's own documents from previous versions of office.

Now that you mention it, yes indeed.

Ignoring the abortion of a product that was Office 2007, backwards compatibility was always fine for me
