I would vote for having converters in and out of the GT Feature model as required. It's only really needed for I/O, right? For other functionality, use the raw functionality provided by GT (such as coordinate transformations) and develop a JUMP-specific API on top of it.
One of JUMP's big strength's IMO is a clean, approachable code base. Anything that adds complexity should be avoided at all costs - we'll be living with it for years to come.
