An underrated feature of LibreOffice is the ability to insert the original document inside a PDF when exporting. If you reopen that PDF in LibreOffice, it will grab the embedded copy for editing instead of trying to guess how to convert the PDF into its original.
Hybrid PDF
That's monstrous. When I send a PDF I don't want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I'd use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.
It sounds opt-in.
I saved many many documents as pdf via libre office and never encountered this feature, so I'd say so too.
