lualatex has not problems to hyphenate geißeln and imho it uses the
same patterns:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document} 
\parbox{1cm}{geißeln geißeln geißeln geißeln geißeln geißeln}

\parbox{0.5cm}{wußte wußte wußte wußte wußte wußte}
\end{document}
