Sorry, I don't know in your case, I'm not using Harfbuzz like that yet for anything. But I can imagine not using any special features when breaking up text for animation etc. because it doesn't look right, and it's a stylistic extra. For example if the animation would end you could always mark up the text so that it doesn't require the ligature (space it out, but with care)
I'm sure somebody else here can say how to use (or not use) features (or put you in the right direction).
