In my magazine and book projects, I sometimes fix pagebreaking by stretching
paragraphs with \looseness=1
Unfortunately this works _in my project_ only with MkIV, i.e. \looseness has no
effect with LMTX.
I tried different examples (e.g. the attached file) and can’t reproduce the
problem, there MkIV and LMTX always behave the same.
So it must be something in my settings.
What could cause the difference?
I tried English and German and different settings of alignment and tolerance.
Might it be font dependent?
explained in manuals ...

in lmxt we freeze the properties set when a paragraph starts (contrary
to using the last set value which actually fails when you set it inside
a group)
so, when you change some property mid paragraph you need to update the
properties in order for them to be effective (can be done for looseness
only if really needed); that works independent of grouping so it's more
robust
so .. it's all about more control
