It could happen if there's an unusual service stopped due to e.g. OOM, or maybe the graceful restart was corrupted due to systemctl start lsws. Please try to use systemctl restart lsws instead and monitor it for a while and see how it goes.
Please navigate to SSL Listener > SSL, enable the Session Cache option, and see if that improves the situation.
However, keep in mind that most modern browsers use session tickets instead, so enabling the session cache may have limited impact.
The error is probably happening within this function https://github.com/litespeedtech/ls-cloud-image/blob/master/Setup/vhsetup.sh#L604-L618
Please check if you can run the wp command, and DB access is working.
No global policy for that, but you could consider using the include file method and apply it to all the virtual hosts.

For such general questions, please post it in general openlitespeed discussion thread.
LiteSpeed currently only supports offloading SSL and forwarding to the backend using ws://, not wss://. A similar discussion can be found here: https://forum.openlitespeed.org/threads/websocket-reverse-proxy-over-tls.5237/
Just an update. There have been some updates to the RPM packages, so I launched a fresh AlmaLinux 9 instance and was able to install all the lsphp82 and lsphp83 packages without any warnings."
Which control panel? if you set an virtual host access log path to, e.g. /home/username/logs/access.log, then the virtual host access log path is /home/username/logs/access.log. Please provide more details of the issue.
I just did a quick test for OLS + OWASP, and the error log logs " [INFO] [146419] [1.2.3.4:59423:HTTP2-11#wordpress] [Module:mod_security] ModSecurity: Warning. Matched "Operato ..." as expected on both server and virtual host levels. So you might want to check if theLog Level has INFO included.
It supports the virtual host level only, see https://docs.openlitespeed.org/security/headers/
If you want to reduce the duplicate set up, you could consider the virtual host template or include conf feature(https://docs.openlitespeed.org/config/advanced/includes/).
