5.4. Hyphenation: the hyphens property
https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/CR-css-text-3-20201222/#hyphenation

Hyphenation is the controlled splitting of words where they usually would not be allowed to break to improve the layout of paragraphs, typically splitting words at syllabic or morphemic boundaries, and visually indicating the split (usually by inserting a hyphen, U+2010).

Since it could be read in two ways, i assume that 'typically' also modifies 'indicating' – ie. that the spec doesn't bar the possibility that hyphenation produces no visual indication?

Yes (tho this is all non-normative intro text)

Perhaps remove the comma after boundaries?

[css-text-3] Editorial: remove a comma

This makes sure the word "typically" is seen as applying to both
clauses.

See #5938
