I don't see this as a problem, at least not more than it already is even with proprietary software. Remember that announcement from just a few years ago that Japan will finally move away from using floppy disks as the official way to exchange data with some authorities? Or stories about government offices somewhere struggling to move away from windows 7?

I really don't see how it even still matters today. Even a Libre office from 5 years ago should have plenty features for the average tasks an office clerk needs to do. Heck probably even MS Word 97 would suffice. The rest is often specialized software written by contractors, so "make it OSS" will just be a new requirement.
