The LLVM Coding Standards has an entire section <https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#don-t-use-braces-on-simple-single-statement-bodies-of-if-else-loop-statements> about this. Some of the listed exceptions/examples there can make things more difficult.

Difficult, yes. But I think it should be in one option.
It hasn't to be implemented everything right from the start. And we could give all those cases a name and a different setting, so that the entire document would be mappable to a `.clang-format` with a convenience setting for all options at once.
