I can't reproduce on Windows 10 with LO 6.2.8, the bolding of Tamil text works fine. See attached screenshot.

Version: 6.2.8.2 (x64)
Build ID: f82ddfca21ebc1e222a662a32b25c0c9d20169ee
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: zh-CN (zh_CN); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

I believe the font used here is Nirmala UI, which comes with Windows.
