If I subscribe to an RSS feed it's because I'm interested in the content. I might appreciate better ways of filtering, but I still want to see all of the items in the feeds.
I do the opposite (eg, I read HN via RSS), and definitely don't want to see all of the content.
My reader (newsboat) is good at showing items at-most-once, and (at least the way I use it) punts to a browser to display content on the rare occasions I have further interest. Does this count as sufficiently-non-email-clienty for TFA's purposes?
I built my own feed hydrator (not my term, but love it) for HN that adds the opengraph info from the targe link along with points + comment counts, all cached in SQLite
Then it lets me filter with different criteria, the default is a ratio of points+comments that keeps the chaff out.
