our upstream effort is: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/118850

sample usage:

soffice --convert-to csv:"Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)":44,34,UTF8,1,,0,false,true,false,false,false,-1 sample.ods

where the new (11th!) final token ("-1") enables writing each sheet to a new file based on the suggested target name so output in this example is files
sample-Sheet1.csv and sample-Sheet2.csv
