There are no such plans by anyone I'm aware of at least.  As above, LO
uses a single in-process JVM for all of its Java needs (from extensions
and from whatever core components that use Java).

If extensions and everything else use the built-in JVM, why is there a JRE selection dialog in the
settings and why are users prompted to install a JRE when installing Java extensions? See
https://libreofficehelp.com/how-to-fix-libreoffice-requires-a-java-runtime-environment-error/

There is no built-in JVM in LO. The JVM from the chosen JRE is instantiated in-process (instead of running it as an additional process, which would allow for e.g. a 64-bit soffice.bin to interact with a 32-bit JRE; this also implies that there is a single JVM used for all extensions etc.).
