I would advocate for Noto Sans over Source Han Sans because of the smaller and
more locale-friendly packaging of the OTF files. The Source Han Sans OTF files
are larger, presumably due to locale combining. This (like my prior comment) is
merely a pragmatic concern.

Agreed. I think at this point in the discussion (given Noto Sans / Source Hans
Sans) that this report can be confirmed. Whether and how a solution is
implemented remains for developers / l10n experts to determine. Some
interesting and worthwhile options have been presented in the discussion IMO.
Status set to NEW. For clarity, bug 80538 contains details about the infobar,
although this may not need to be added to the See Also list.
