I find that the Lamy Extra Fine nib does quite well on office paper, but it's also very dependent on your ink. A thinner ink is much more likely to spread (it's before coffee idk the name). I need to find the manufacturer of the one I am using now (I was gifted the cart) so I can recommend it to you.
How scratchy (unsmooth?) is a Lamy EF?
Feedback (aka the scratchy friction from the nib rubbing across the paper fibers) all depends on both the paper and the type of nib you get.
The polished steel nib will have less feedback than the black steel nibs but the polished steel nibs will have greater variation in the line thickness.
Higher end/premium paper like Rhodia, Clairefontaine, Leuchtturm 1917 etc will feature smoother paper which will give less feedback.
Some feedback is wanted so you know how you are writing but how much feedback is needed is up to both the user and the situation.
