"Tap to Click" is meant to be configurable in the GUI here:

  Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad > Touchpad > Tap to Click

If you don't see that option then the issue is either:

  (a) libinput or the kernel have not detected your touchpad as a clickpad correctly; or
  (b) You have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed so the Touchpad GUI will be missing.

Also note this will be ignored by libinput as it is a setting for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics only:

    Section "InputClass"
      Identifier "disable touchpad tap to click, enable palm detection"
      Driver "synaptics"

Please clarify for us if you have kept xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed. Because if you have and continue to log into "Ubuntu on Xorg", then libinput has nothing to do with your issues and this bug needs redirecting elsewhere.
