Now, is it possible/interesting to have such a feature, that people can
download "fixes" (Microsoft would call them hotfixes) to Libreoffice?

"hotfixes" are a completely different technology, not suitable for upgrades of large complex 
software libe OOo or LibreOffice at all.

What exists, and could in theory be used, is Windows Installer patches (.msp files).

But, they are so horribly hard to produce and get to work 
yea?

oh. Yes that would be an issue ;) I had the same feeling from just
looking at my cow-orkers' "win"dows computers, with updates failing and
breaking everything, leaving you worse off than before.

I guess it would be different if the whole windows system was set up
with packages, with version controls and "this-package-depends-on"
stuff. And real super-user privileges that normal lusers could not take
on...
