It's worth noting that the specification describes text-wrap as one of the
longhand properties comprising part of the newly-shorthand white-space
property.

Is what you're proposing to do here:

 (1) Implement:
       text-space-collapse: collapse | preserve | preserve-breaks
       text-wrap: wrap | no-wrap | balance
       and then turn white-space into a shorthand?  (Optionally, implement
more of the values of text-space-collapse and/or text-wrap or also
implement text-space-trim, but those don't seem necessary to do the text-wrap:
balance feature in line with the spec's model.)  This seems to be the
minimal approach that would be in line with the spec.

(2) Implement text-wrap balance without making it relate to the white-space
property.  This would diverge from what is currently in the spec.

If you're planning to do (2), have you discussed it with the CSS Working
Group?
