Thanks for the hint - my mistake.

It would have the advantage that you would not have to treat any mode
that binds C-j individually.

But it would have the disadvantage that you would have to ensure that
your new minor mode has a higher priority than any other minor mode it
should "shadow".

No, it's easy - just do

(define-key view-mode-map [?\C-j] nil)

Better don't - it's possible, but only the last solution one should
think about.  Let's try to do without.
