Yeah webengine doesn't support it because chrome doesn't support it (except on macOS) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium...tail?id=652964

I could of course implement hyphenation dynamically using soft hyphens with the hyphenator JS library (thsi is how it was done in v3) but that is hacky and slow and causes issues with other things such as search.
