Outlining is something I use as well, and sadly its pretty much missing/useless in OOo and Libre Office. That is why I am reluctantly still using an old copy of Word 2003 for my 'little books' since the 90's, now with wine on openSUSE. I've been onto the OOo issues (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959) trail for many years to get Outlining into the OOo Writer, but no one seems to want to incorporate it. As you say, what is pointed out to be outline and navigator is useless for serious work in OOo and its derivatives. All capable Outliners are not free or open source. Very few are as good and easy to use as M$-Word outline mode for non-technical users.
Outlining is in OpenOffice 3.3, but its just not as smooth as it was in 8 year old Word. It is not as swift to switch between modes. It does work, but it took a lot of digging to get comfortable with it (which I'm still not).
