I think this is not necessary.

Exactly. Based on that a simple macro can be constructed:
.de showhyphens
. nr nr_showhyphens \\n[.warn]
. warn 0
.
. ev ev_showhyphens
. ll 1u
. di di_showhyphens
. nop \\$1
. br
. di
. ll
. ev
.
. warn \\n[nr_showhyphens]
.
. tr aa \&
. di_showhyphens
. tr aa x
\& \"
..
.
This is a test to show
.showhyphens recapitulation
and other stuff.
=> This is a test to show re‐ca‐pit‐u‐la‐tion and other stuff.
