Where to put spaces in Japanese if Japanese should be written with spaces is a trivial and solved problem. Texts intended for children in full hiragana or old video game texts in full hiragana typically include spaces for ease of reading and they agree on where to put them. I don't understand the common argument that Japanese has no concept of “words”; it is true that Japanese orthography lacks them, but Japanese speakers intuitively agree on where spaces should be put. I think the real cause of this might simply be that in romanization, it is common to see spaces put where they shouldn't, and that on one end a common way to romanize contrasts with what feels intuitive makes people think that it's a difficult issue with no easy answer, but there is a very easy and solved answer, one that's simply different from the most common form of romanizing outside of linguistic textbooks. Having said hat, they are no indication for typing speed, but neither are words in English since there can be long and short words too but probably more extreme in Japanese as a sentence that merely consists of a single very long verb would be considered “one word” under this scheme, as that's how it is pronounced prosodically.
