 AFAICS, Noto Sans CJK highly depends on this new hinting engine.

I'd consider a font that depends on a specific hinting engine for proper
rendering as broken by design.

 Rendering of Noto Sans CJK glyphs is severely broken with the old
 hinting engine.

Freetype still allows for selection between native hinting and
auto-hinting. If one of both leads to significantly better results, we
could still enforce this hinting method for this font by means of a
fontconfig rule.

Stand corrected: those CFF fonts don't depend on specific code. They
just can't be properly rendered with the old defect hinting engine so
the new hinting engine is the only choice for now.

No, fontconfig can't configure hinting engine.
