LibreOffice is preinstalled in Pop OS, and as someone who loves the idea of FOSS I want to use it, but inevitably I just use Google docs or Office Online. Is it really worth learning? Has anyone successfully incorporated it into your workflow?

Like everything else it depends on what you’re trying to do.
Bugs and operational issues aside a document written in Libra office is not going to be pixel compatible with the word doc. In many cases, The formatting can be pretty far off.
But the same goes for Google docs although they make a pretty solid attempt to make them close they’re still not pixel perfect.
If your output is a printer or a PDF I don’t really think it matters what you use they’re all serviceable within reason.
If you’re working with someone on grants or trying to find a job and need to give them an editable document for some reason It’s probably best to use Microsoft word.
