The results aren't all that impressive, the lower harmonics are about 65dB below the fundamental. Start-up is slow - it takes
about five seconds of simulation before the circuit settles down into steady state operation, and that after I dropped the
integrating capacitor from 6.8uF to 680nF. The nice thing about the circuit is that I can explain what each bit is doing. I can
see a few tweaks that might be worth trying.

You seem to have a lot of components.

Are you sure you really need all those ferrites?

No, but they are cheap, and op amps injecting hash into the power rails are never a good idea. Power supply rejection drops with
frequency, and U1 in particular pulls spikes of current from the power rails twice per cycle.

Also looks clean either side of 1kHz.
Whether or not this has anything to do with reality I do not know.
The diode stabilizer string will be temperature dependent,
requiring readjustment of R4 and a total of three adjustments are needed.
Only three op amps (two packages) are needed.

Simulate for 100 seconds will be enough but will still need a few hours.
It takes at least 20 seconds to fully stabilize.

I've no idea why you are using the LT1994. The circuit doesn't have a common mode problem, so why are you using an op amp designed
to deal with one?

And the six diode "stabiliser string" is nuts. If you need a 3.6V reference voltage there are lots of ways to do it with more
precision and better temperature stability.

In that case please show a circuit with better performance.
It may be that some of the circuits JM posted can do better but if so then why are you using a circuit with so many components?
My circuit has far fewer components than yours.
