Do you have any hints on working on option 3? Well, that means not using fontconfig, so might not be worth for a generic Linux solution...
What renderer is matplotlib using now ? Because IIRC it could use cairo, and cairo does support complex font shaping and modern font formats via pango-cairo. 5-6 years ago at an xorg text summit people agreed to converge on a single text rendering stack, and we are finally getting there with QT and GTK both using harfbuzz-ng (+ libreoffice, firefox, etc)
The text stack should look like
freetype ↓ fontconfig ↓ harfbuzz-ng ↓ upper layers : QT, gtk → pango, cairo → pango, etc
