Don't get me wrong, I agree it's a valid concern and enhancement request, I
just don't feel LibreOffice is the right place on the technology/software stack
to solve this issue.
FWIW, English/Latin-based text has more-or-less the same issue, usually called
"hanging punctuation" or "optical margin alignment", see bug 106513.

As I said, I'm by no means an expert, so I'll just drop my 2 cents here, as a
(somewhat) experienced Chinese user:

LibreOffice is a bit different from most other word processing software here,
in that it specify three different fonts for its text -- Western font, Asian
(CJK, i.e. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) font, and CTL (complex text layout,
think Arabic, Hindi, etc.). See the Tools > Options > Language Settings >
Languages dialog.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no "default" CJK font defined in the
default template, therefore no such "used as standard" font for Japanese text.
There is a list of preferred font to fallback on for each language, but it
depends on whether each of the fonts in that list is installed on your system,
and therefore not reliable.

Again to the best of my knowledge, all current widely used (meaning the open
source ones, and the ones come with Windows or macOS operating system) Chinese
and Japanese fonts are "broken" in this regard. I guess most native Chinese
and Japanese users just don't consider this issue a big deal (I personally
don't, either).
