Hindemith's own performances tend more toward the concept you express. The most difficult challenge in doing justice to Hindemith is sustaining his long phrases with a big full unforced yet potent and focused sound. Church acoustics should help with the breaths, but everyone has to cooperate. The Passacaglia from Nobilissima provides a classic example of where my conductor would say, "Let the added layers of orchestration do the work. Don't force." To that I would add Think sonority - not loudness.

Great piece. Hope it works for you.
