Those are certainly reasons for using line breaks but not a justification
for using a line break to end a paragraph. In most cases where line breaks
are required (poetry, address blocks), presumably one would not be using
Justified alignment in the first place. For the occasional override, I
prefer the solution of adding a tab character rather than changing the
Compatibility Options setting, which affects all justified paragraphs (and
occasionally you want the last line of a paragraph to be justified to create
the appearance of a continuous paragraph broken over pages, interrupted by a
full-page graphic).

To terminate a paragraph, use Enter, not Shift+Enter.
Why would anyone use shift+enter at all?
- to create lines of poetry spaced differently from complete stanzas
of poetry
- to line up words using tabs with irregular spacing (seen in
linguistics all the time)
- to create multi-line addresses that can be sorted on the first word
of the first line
