StyLua now supports collapsing simple statements
Back in the day when I was making a decision about which formatter to use (I believe, it was between StyLua and LuaFormatter) these observations sealed the deal: - It was already used by many plugins and Neovim itself. - It made handy binary releases which I could download and use right away. - It had easy-to-use github action for Continuous Integration checks.

Lua Indentation Woes
Have you tried any external programs to format your code instead? That's what I usually do. Just set 'formatprg', and use gq to format the code. With a quick search I found LuaFormatter, and StyLua, but I can't say if they format the code the way you want. In my experience, external code formaters will do a better job, and they have more options to tweak as well.

Difference between require("foo") and require"foo"
If your function call has only one argument and it happens to be a literal string or a table, then you might want to eliminate the parenthesis. Use whatever style you prefer, the later is useful for some DSLs. Let stylua auto format it anyway.
