I don't think this is a matter of being especially sensitive to nuances.
It should be possible to implement TeX's hyphenation algorithm in a readers program. Strange that nobody has done it.

Justified text without hyphenation on the Gen3 works rather well since the reader program accepts that some lines are not justifed if justfication would lead to too bad spacing. And that is actually not so disturbing.

Ragged text I have not tested since as you point out ragged text without hyphenation is worse than justified text without hyphenation.
