I found that hyphenation doesn’t get the same quality of typesetting as latex did, also because there are no page breaks to take into account.
One exception though is documentation. I find justified and hyphenated pages of documentation much easier to ingest than without. Maybe that is because my mind has a trained response to go into learning mode because of reading so many papers.
For me the results are significant. Without hyphenation and justified alignment, my eyes “glide” off texts on screen as if they were islands. With, I can stay on it.

It uses lots of small refinements such as adjusting kerning, spacing, and letting hyphens overhang at the end of lines to arrange text in a more aesthetic way.
