It can look really bad without hyphenation. Just thing of a line where you have a long word of 7-9 characters that doesn't fit by one character. That looks awful.

Full justified with hyphens looks better to most people (myself included).
Jon, Jon, Jon.... Aligned not justified. OTOH, even a single or two word header can be justified though why this author thinks this is a good idea is a matter between her and whatever gods she believes in. I just get to correct this issue which keeps my wife happier. I've attached a sample of the original chapter 11 header open in calibre's viewer (3.99.4) -- I also remove the "need" to have the chapter header alone on it's page.
