I found the semibold seems the most pleasing weight.  Then to try to
get a good matching math font, I've tried adding:

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[mathrm=sym]{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Fira Math}
\setoperatorfont\mathsf

This is not terrible, but the math still looks more bold than the
text.

I wonder whether any of you use metropolis and what fonts you find
work well?  There is some previous discussion here in which I
participated:

When I use metropolis, I pair it with Calibri, a Windows system font. My 
needs are very simple and I don't need a specific math font. I find that 
Calibri is pleasant when projected on a screen and it has a nice Italic 
for a sans-serif font. Because it is a Windows font, I compile my 
presentations with XeLaTeX.
