Looks like \flushleft doesn't support hyphenation. Found out that you can load the package ragged2e to support it, but isn't there an easier solution?
Feels kind of messy to load additional packages for such small/basic things.

There's no reason to thing loading a package is messy. I think it would be messy to implement own macros instead of using established and thoroughly tested packages.
The whole LaTeX approach is not a monolithic one, but modular: you load just the packages you need. But if you need some functions, load a package. It's by design. Maybe your computer processor load and memory consumption goes from 1% to 1.02% then.
