It occurs to me that my code is doing more work than necessary to
print paragraphs, and that maybe manual word-wrapping is not
necessary. Are there any examples that show how to print a paragraph
of text without having to compute the width of text and manually chop
things up into lines? Or is that part of the price of PDF?


There is no feature in PDF that does automatic word wrap. Yes you have to do it yourself.

There is a class in the PDFBox source code, PlainTextFormatter, that can also do it, but it was designed for form fields. It is used in AppearanceGeneratorHelper. You'd have to copy  the code, it is not public.
