If you are already familiar with vim, you simply install the vimwiki extension and you get a pretty decent "word processor" which doubles as a fantastic note taking and diary app (vim is a text editor, of course, but plenty of programmers and academic people use it for taking notes and even actual writing (be grocery lists, blog posts, even books!) and you aren't confined to plain text as you can customise it to give you a preview of the final pdf (if you choose to export in that format), two birds with one stone: a small and superfast app that can handle hundreds of pages of text without a flinch, without distracting you in the least and with a very pretty output if you need it (you can find plenty of tutorials on youtube about what people do with vim, the most common workflow is a split screen: writing in vim to the left with a preview of the final html/pdf on the right). Obviously you can then simply export to other formarts like html, latex, pdf and whatnot, even on the fly.
If you want to streamline things even further, probably your best bet is emacs + org-mode (or with a different format you are familiar with, like markdown, asciidoc and similar), so that you can work in plain text and then using it as such for yourself (take 10 docx documents and convert them to text, you'll realise how much space you save and how fast things are!).
Once you change that mindset, there are plenty of options to look for, like specific note taking apps, wikis or really rudimentary wordprocessors (think Wordgrinder for instance, rudimentary compared to libreoffice of course, but it's tiny and pretty powerful for basic needs) This obviously is valid if you mostly work with text with occasional images, surely not if your "word processing" is more a presentation kind of thing (think Scribus). This might not be what you are looking for, but since you are working locally I guess you already have the image files at hand, so if you want to streamline things (and save things on disk staying locally, maybe using the cloud only for backups), simply start thinking "copying and pasting images" as "copying and pasting links" where for each project you create an image folder where you dump all of them and simply reference them from your document.
