OpenCL and CPU Threading both available under Tools > Options > Calc > Calculate (after bug 151144 / https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/187559) are expert settings that most users should never touch. It works reliably and if really needed, admins can disable the option via expert settings.
Well, this is not true about OpenCL and we should instead look into removing the feature completely, if threaded calculation indeed covers the use case.
