I've only seen it once, on DVD and not in the cinema, and honestly I don't remember how the wounds looked. I simply remember the casualness of the killing. I certainly had no sense that the camera dwelt on the wounds and I certainly agree with you that the Coens show no more than they need to in order to present their vision.
Before anyone jumps on me for not seeing this in the cinema, I would have loved to but for one reason and that reason is why most of my viewing from now on is likely to be on video. In the last 18 months my eyes have started to develop cataracts, far too early for any thought of surgery and not a problem in daylight, but films seen in a cinema now look slightly blurred and out of focus to me, and colours look overly soft and muted. My LCD screen has a much brighter image and at my normal viewing distance movies look well focussed and colours can look clear and bright when that's what the film shows. If the film has a reputation for very good photography or it's a film I really want to see, I tend to wait now and watch it on video so I can appreciate the visual side of things much better. That's what I did with this film.
