Is there any motivation (apart from simpler implementation of LibreOffice) for
not having a boolean type? E.g. does the ODF standard say something about this?

If adding a real boolean type is not feasible then I suspect this inconsistency
will not be fixed because the possible solutions you mention sound like they
would add quite a bit of overhead.
