Starting from the February 2024 release, version 28.3, this option is no longer enabled by default for new documents. If you had hyphenation enabled in an existing document, Ai will respect this.

Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!
Dear Illustrator Community,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.
While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.
Our Approach
We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.
It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…

We also work with extremely complex compositions and it is so infuriating that there's no way to spec a machine to handle them. We have these exteremely powerful machines with extremely powerful CPUs, GPUs and huge amounts of RAM but AI is using a fraction of the power available. I appreciate this probably means re-writing half the program but surely a single-threaded codebase isn't sustainable in the long term as more and more features are added and user requirements become more and more demanding.
In terms of performance gains I would say GPU acceleration has helped our studio out somewhere in the region of 0%. Perhaps less as in a number of cases it has made the program slower and/or more unstable. These are new machines with modern nvidia graphics cards.
Our workflows revolve around AI, so this is probably the number one reason we don't fully embrace the Adobe ecosystem - we're hoping that at some point a competitor program will come along that matches the functionality but doesn't have these performance issues. It would make a world of difference! Even just to know that it was on the radar.

In the example the problem seems to be the scale of the stroke - shrink it down to a tenth of the size and it renders as expected.
