Long lines are just annoying, wrap or no wrap.

I don't want to hit 'j' and drop down two 'lines' because what I thought was the next line was actually the end of this line.

I also don't want to hit '$' and go not to the end of the 'line' but somewhere below (and potentially left) because of the same.

But I also don't want to hit '$' and go out into space to the right and lose context from the surrounding reasonably-lengthed lines.

Just use the return key and nobody has to worry about whether to wrap or not to wrap.
