Never autonumber anything except pages in footer or header (paper / PDF destination only). It's simply a convenience and in total work saves little time. No auto-numbered chapters, notes or lists.
But only edit odt files with LO Writer (opening a docx does a conversion) and only convert docx with Calibre (because odt support is ancient and broken), so always a final extra Save As in docx purely for Calibre or other MS Word users. Only edit odt in LO Writer. If you start with a docx in LO Writer, save at once in odt and then check all page styles, headings, paragraph styles as the input file read a docx may look right (and print on paper), it's a conversion concentrating on cosmetics rather than sane structure! Actually different versions of MS word using each other's doc and docx have the same problem!

I'm glad it works for you - it doesn't for me. Something I'm doing wrong, or could do differently, I've no doubt.
But the way I finally managed to get all of the formatting I wanted was to export to ePub from LO, specifying "Page break" as the split method rather than "Heading". It did something weird with my ToC (where just the heading remains, without the ToC itself); but the system ToC is functional in the ePub, so that doesn't really matter.
The only other slight frustration is that I don't know how to have different paragraph formats in LO for chapter numbers and chapter titles that will both show up, combined - i.e. "2. What I Did on My Holidays", in the navigation system within the kepub (i.e. at the top of the page). Because I now have them in two different paragraph styles, only the number shows up at the top of the page on my Libra 2 - "2", or whatever. But I can probably live with that.
