It's a important requirement :). Except for presentations that are 
difficults to perform with LibreOffice due to accessibility issues I 
think you could use GNU/Linux for most of your task.
Anyway, I don't know  the state of the accessibility Java FX on both 
Windows and Linux.

The best to verify if it's possible for you is to use it. Keep in mind 
that the migration from an operating system to another takes time so 
you'll probably take one month to be comfortable with GNU/Linux on your 
tasks, not because it's difficult but you'll to learn the new OS a 
little bit.

I personally advise people to choose Debian over Ubuntu because I found 
it more convenient to deal with. There is a dedicated accessibility team 
on Debian that could help you and eventually fix accessibility issues.

The Debian accessibility page is available here: 
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility
