Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections "All Purpose", "Tools", and "Software".. however, I didn't find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said "great website for cracked software".

Thanks in advance. :)

To some degree. If you've to collaborate with other who use MS Office and/or use advanced Excel formulas it won't be enough.

That's Microsoft to blame. Their so-called "open" OOXML document standard is so complicated that it's almost impossible to implement it, a very interesting read on the topic: https://tfir.io/never-use-microsofts-ooxml-pseudo-standard-format/

But I would say the Libre office should be good enough for 98% of the usage and you would hardly find any interoperability issues, due to the constant dedication of their developers who reverse engineered a lot of MS shenanigans.

Well what are you expecting? Not even between MS Office versions things work sometimes, and after all we're talking about Excel, the piece of shit software made by some genius team that thinks that having data stored in multiple encodings.. Also from the same team you get dates that are stored as strings and parsed live according to whatever computer language / locate you're using making it a total mess when you've to share spreadsheets across languages. Only if there weren't already good and solid technical solutions used by every developer out there to deal with those kinds of things. UTF-8, ISO dates, timestamps :P
