Wouldn't it be possible to use something like \ballast, in the way it is

Dear listmembers,
I would say that the risk of getting rivers in text typeset using TeX &
children is minimum, as long as you choose sensible values for typesize
and column width. And much, much less than in MS Word, InDesign,

looks fine, so perhaps you have disabled hyphenation
by using something like \setuptolerance[verytolerant],
or they were truly unnecesary (it is possible)
