I know libtorrent added webtorrent support a while back, how does it work? I tried it in qBittorrent and Transmission, and it downloads from the webseed only

Try sharing with WebTorrent.

i know that works, but libtorrent, that most major apps use, is supposed to support it now too

The case is: I read time ago that some torrent clients only whitelist certain other torrent clients in the network to exchange.

I didn't remember if I even read the reasons but could be that libtorrent is not inside that and WebTorrent is one of the allowed instead.
