There is a beta-test Latin Modern Math font in the ConTeXt minimals that can
also be used with lualatex or xelatex.  I assume it lacks the
variations for different
design sizes, but does look similar to cmr.   Your example raises another issue:

$β²$ vs $β²²$ vs  $β^{2^2}$, etc.  I think the conclusion is that $β²$
is (reluctantly)
allowed because so many users want it, but you won't get much sympathy
if $β²²$ doesn't give what you expect.
