But is it useful for a bare hyphen to be treated as a syllable? I don’t recall
having seen any examples of that.

I think it should be reversed. It is more convenient to use the shorter symbol
for the more common case. To specify a hard hyphen in a compound word, I would
prefer something like this.
Jean \hh Charles Mal - a - hieu - de
(apologies if it's wrongly broken)
I’m not advocating \hh especially, just using it as a placeholder.
And if someone really wanted a hyphen character as a syllable, could they not
use “-“?
