I voted nil because of the available fonts issue. But I think what you
say below is a good idea, so it could be activated by default

Sounds like a good idea and I agree. If I understand correctly, if the
sans, roman, and mono font variables (or any of them) are non-nil,
enable font selection. Otherwise, leave the default Latin Modern font.
By the way, although I've already commented on it in some post in the
parent thread, i think this package I wrote might be useful for doing a
quick visual test of a font (including opentype features test), using
org-latex-preview (compiling with LuaTeX). It can be done on any font
marked in dired. There are three options: insert arbitrary characters,
insert the Unicode code of the characters, or display a specimen of the
font. The default specimen is in the file specimen.tex, which can be
edited to add examples and languages.
Some screenshots:

To create font tables I often use the LaTeX package unicodefonttable. An
example of usage within Org:
#+header: :headers '("\\usepackage{unicodefonttable}")
#+begin_src latex :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 :results raw :results file :file -2256080143431736233.png
\displayfonttable*[range-start=1F00,range-end=1FFE]{Old Standard}
\displayfonttable*[range-start=0600,range-end=06FF]{FreeSerif}
#+end_src

Maybe it could also be added as an emergency fallback font GNU Unifont:

Juan Manuel
