The main issue is that you have to manually select the replacement for every unique occurrence.

I suspect my hyphenation problems are not as severe as yours, when Kovid added the 'smart' to offer the de-hyphenated word as the first replacement choice (assuming it is not a misspelling) that fixed a huge number of errors in some 'books' I was working on at the time.
Re the list of hyphenated words, I use it to spot erroneous hyphenations - eg bank-ruptures is not a misspelling but its probably wrong. I paste erroneous hyphenations into my clipboard. Once I've scanned the hyphenated word list I deal with the erroneous sublist I created in my clipboard with regular S&R.
