I switched to LibreOffice years ago and never looked back.

I understood that many developers had moved to LibreOffice, and OpenOffice had since stalled?

In terms of accessibility, LibreOffice continues to improve their export-to-PDF engine. They can now generate a PDF that is often pretty much compliant with PDF/UA.

Though I still use Microsoft Office for client work.

I'm curious to try OnlyOffice. I wonder how it compares?

You really don't want to be using OpenOffice, there is no actual work being done on it.

Check out Brodie Robertson's video on the topic, that points out most of the code commits going to OpenOffice are literally empty/useless changes just to be able to technically say there are making updates:
