I try to provide a proper documentation when I release the next
version of my module.

Ligatures are enabled in ConTeXt default fontfeature and simplefonts 
applies only
the default features to the font, when you don't get them in your 
document this could
be a font problem, in most cases it helps to select a different script.

\setupsimplefonts[script=latin]

or

\setmainfont[...][script=latin]

The caps font is loaded by default by the smallcaps fontfeature,
if this did not work the problem could be the same as for the ligatures.

You can use the two keys expamsion ans protrusion, their values are
the same as you have e to write in \definefontfeature.

\setupsimplefonts[expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]


or


\setmainfont[...][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
