The problem is not (mostly) with the spacing: The problem is with the choice of
font variant. The Computer Modern typeface has monospaced variants, just like
it has italic variants. The ask is not for LO to detect italicization of
glyphs, nor their being spaced uniformly, but rather to notice the PDF tells us
to use certain typeface variants. LO manages to do that for Bold and Italic -
but not for monospace. So,

No, it would not.
