Let's try introducing stitch-stripping to path writing first, and see if that gets us what we want. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think people do not normally manipulate LPE output directly without converting to path first? In that case (convert-to-path), there should definitely be a roundtrip through svgd.
It is not possible to manipulate LPE output. When d= is changed for a shape with a LPE applied, it is discarded and replaced with the d= output from the LPE calculation using original-d= or other shape parameters. convert-to-path is done by deleting the path effect, the d= attribute is kept the same (the LPE stack's result is not even recalculated); so this operation does not do much actually. (I remember it was this way, it should work in this way)
