I haven't found any mention in the documentation of the asynchronous nature of the --convert-to option, but it looks like it is asynchronous indeed. You should probably ask for confirmation at https://ask.libreoffice.org/. If this is confirmed then requesting an option to wait until the conversion completes would have to be done in the upstream bug tracker: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice.
In any case, please share whatever relevant information you'll get from upstream here.
