Thank you for all the helpful answers.
I ended up working in LO. Used the pencil tool to draw over the section and filled it in. It's also possible to duplicate the page, render it with vectors then explode the rendering. After that, it's a matter of deleting lines, joining lines and adding fill. A little awkward, but ~~doable, more or less. But if you decide to alter the view... π π π π
For some reason, moving the filled section away from the plane in SU didn't work when I tried it the first time, but maybe my tinfoil cap needs a new battery. Or antenna.

I've tried to start one. It keeps getting pulled. Mostly cuz I was the only one posting.
Well, maybe it's better this way. Morons and genuises can learn from each other. Or something.

Or, if you are careful about consistent inside face orientation (as you should be), just make a style in SU where the inside faces are black. Voila, your section cuts will appear solid black, not hollow.
OK, so that's brilliant. Waaaay, waaaaay too simple.

Hi folks.
Another possibility is to use a real cutting surface.
Yes, that works, but again, locating the section plane is critical.
Anyway, these are good suggestions for future work. Thank you all again!
