So, what's the general recommendation? Which approach is the best in
your opinion? (In case it's the \replaceword approach: do you think
you'll have time to look into this?)
I've seen in an older thread that the best way to deal with this would be in

And, while we're at it: how do you deal with words like "begrifflich" where
you'll want the ff ligature, but not the ffl ligature.

I've tried this
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begri{ffl}ich]
But this breaks the ligature completely.
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begrif{fl}ich] is not correct either (doesn't do
anything).
Or with exceptions:
\startexceptions[de]
begri{ff-}{l}{ffl}(ff\zwnj l)ich
\stopexceptions
But that also breaks the ligature completely.

I think only Pablo ever used this variant. And yes, it's actually documented in
a manual. But it's old code thay I might want to update to be more lmtx-ish.

Yes, that's in the "languages" manual. But I don't understand how this will help with the ligatures?

\registerhyphenationpattern[de][.begriff1l/ff=l,6,3] Gives me correct hyphenation of begrifflich, but has no effect on ligatures (see below).
