Recent AX audits and spot-checks have mentioned horizonal scrolling on long words, titles and email addresses as a failure of the reflow criteria.
It could be done on a component-by-component basis, but in CMS situations it may apply to any component in use.
I've always thought a catch all style could lead to more bugs than it solves, but reading a bit more into it the main drawbacks seem to be on some international languages where a break changes meaning. Which could be overridden if we ever encountered it.
Should we consider adding break-word styling to our default reset stylesheet as described here:
