My question is: are there any plans or visions about how the problem
should be tackled in LuaTeX in the most elegant way, given the absence
of the ICU library?

I could also ask differently: suppose that a motivated Thai programmer
would be willing to work on solving the problem properly. What would
be the suggested solution?

A very interesting question! Next thing on my todolist is to handle tibetan. It seems to have the same kind of difficulty, and the rules for end of lines could be summarized as follows: you can end a line only on a space (which is rare) or after a certain character (tshegs, U0F0B). How could it be possible to handle this?

Thank you,
