Dear all,

When I compile the following MWE with lualatex letter spacing by
microtype's \textls doesn't work. When I comment fontspec and
\setmainfont (i.e. with lualatex's default font settings) it works as
expected:

% ----------------------------------
\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Libertinus Serif}

\usepackage{microtype}
\begin{document}
\textls[100]{Stop stealing sheep}
\end{document}
% ----------------------------------

Am I missing something?

No, letterspacing is currently broken.

The code to repair it is already there but need a bit testing before
I can upload to ctan - sometimes this week I guess.

See https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/38
and https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/pull/39

I see. Thanks for your awareness.
