I am getting slightly different results on several pages. The number of problematic cases is lower in my variant so I hope it makes still sense.

Hmm, I indeed tested my approach with bad example.
Now your previous examples make more sense to me :-)

Bad news. But I hope my parfillskip will work for majority cases and these problematic with words shorter than parindent+tolerance can be fixed afterwards by joining them with previous words using non-breaking space.

I'll look into your 'crap' paragraph builder lua code if this exception could be handled programmatically without touching the source file (i.e. test for short last line and treat leading whitespace as it was '~' if necessary).
