I agree. Just for sake of completeness: the TeX proof of concept is to show
a possible way of going forward with one of many possible sets of fonts and
fallback fonts. It is an addition to the discussion. Let me recollect:
1.- Am I looking at adding a generating a header to cope with fonts and
font mappings and avoid #+LATEX_HEADER: blocks? YES
2.- Will they be ALWAYS added to a document: NO, they will be added at
user's request controlled by a custom variable
3.- Will Noto and Free be the chosen fonts: NO, once again, there will be
custom variables to control which fonts do what, but we need something to
start from
4.- Will fallback fonts be ALWAYS provided: Again NO, if the customisation
for fallback fonts is empty, they will not appear in the list.

Will look at it with care and enormous interest.
P.S.

You are 100% correct. This is why everything should be highly flexible and
adaptable to the user's needs and setup.
PS: I'm using Free/Mono, because they happen to be available cross-OS here
at home (Linux, macOS, FreeBSD and occasionally Windows).
