I don't think anyone has any reliable information on the western (or any other, for all it matters) part of Libya, due to the simple fact that nobody visited for the past 3 years. The last foreign visitor I'm aware of (flying in/out of Tripoli) was in early 2017, since then I have not heard of any other reports. The conditions in the country (and the lines of control by the different warring factions) change from day to day. While I do not hold the FCO advice to so high regard as some others here, and in many cases the advice bears no relation to the realities on the ground (they are not to protect travelers, but to protect officials who can always say later if something happens that "I told you so") I think as far as Libya is concerned, it is smack on.
