It does seem rather odd that there are char, pp, list, frame and page styles, but no table styles.

It has been requested as an enhancement:

You can register and add a comment or vote there. Hard to say from that whether there's any possibility of it happening. It would require a major(?) change in the file format, which is always a big deal (i.e. delay).

In the meantime, there is a reasonable workaround: just put your tables inside a frame. The frame can have a style, including the space around (including below) it (Format > Frame > Wrap).

Of course that's still more work than just inserting a table, and you can accomplish the same thing by copy&paste of a table with spacing added, but at least the frame would have a true style where you could adjust the spacing (as well as a lot of other layout settings) easily for all tables.

You can define an autotext holding an empty table in a frame; using that would be almost as easy as simply inserting a table: 'TF' (two-letter shortcut), F3.
