 Gutenberg repo has at least one open discussion about justified text:

 When it started ''4 years ago'', it **was** about the classic editor.

 Full justification was there, then it went away.

 Your suggestion about "putting everything into blocks and using custom
 style tag" is consistent with the lack of reality WordPress/AGILE
 developers have.

 I started writing that blog in 2010. I always flagged paragraphs for full
 justification. The oldest post on that blog is currently from 2011-05-26.
 There are currently 763 posts.Every one of which has to be edited to
 utilize your proposed solution.

 A mantra that I beat upon in my award winning technical book series:
 https://theminimumyouneedtoknow.com/

 is that developers have to consider the installed base.

 The installed base was not considered when full justification was removed.
