Back then it was unclear to me whether LO was supporting AtspiCollection in the
first place. Your tdf#35654 comment 19 clarified that this is the case (at
least for the gtk3 VCL plugin), as that's implemented on the ATK level by now.
Therefore, I've closed tdf#35654 now and mentioned the remaining issue in bug
96492 instead, in the hope to make this a bit clearer/easier to keep track.

Reading your above comment: Do you still think that AT-SPI Collection is the
way forward in the longer run?

If so, the discussion in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6204
contains some more information/tips on what to do instead of exposing all cells
in the a11y tree, but some points (like how to expose selected cells when part
of them are off-screen) would IMHO still need clarification.
