The spaces before « ; » and others are not the same habits than « -- »
and « --- ». « -- » is TeX specific, the spaces no, it's just a french
habit.

I can't imagine a french text without those spaces. So maybe this
specific question should be on for all french text, and something like
\setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] [no] can be use for the
excepts.
(For sure questions like always indenting the paragraphs are more
complex since modern typography sometime don't put them).
