LibreOffice Base is... okay. It's not great but I was able to do most of the things I used to use Access for (simple small CRUD database tools that let you quickly build forms, simple table relationships, enter/review data, generate reports). Basically, it's better than nothing and nothing is what we've got now. Base can get pretty confusing at points and has given me a lot of head-scratchers at some times.
Even with otherwise seemingly easy-to-use web-based improvements to Excel that my employer has like smartsheet... these don't seem to let you do any sort of super basic many-to-one relationships (maybe with some expensive ad on package? dunno... and smartsheet has plastered their site with a bunch of 101 intro to databases SEO spam that explain what different types of relationships are rather than how to fucking build them with smartsheet)
