A lot of popular new designs will not feed shorts, they were never intended to. But many will, the Henry for example. It loves them long time.

On the plus side (if you can find them) CB longs give safe quiet airgun-like performance like CB shorts and they will hand-cycle through most (but not all) guns that will hang up with shorts. CCI makes them and yes they will be a little more expensive than regular shorts.
"Modern rifles" and rifles that were or were not designed for the round are totally different topics. Modern rifles designed to feed and fire the .22 short are no more or less different than vintage rifles that either were or weren't designed to fire the .22 short.
