For the hacky ifdefs, I note that fedora did similar for
poppler-0.83.0 (and supposedly 0.84.0 was already ok). But yeah, my
own upgrades to new builds are now much less frequent than they used
to be.
And I very much agree that the details of LO configury can be hard
to follow. But any suggestions are always welcome.

Hmm, I didn't have any problem with inkscape last week. Maybe my
script has diverged from the book (apart from the obvious changes to
use my own CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS throughout).
