This (#929185) may also affect timidity, which has its own format,
but with a trivial config file can support any SF2 (at least, did
not try SF3) soundfont:

tglase@tglase:~ $ cat /etc/timidity/ms_general.cfg
# this should suffice, for now
soundfont /usr/share/sounds/sf2/MuseScore_General_Full.sf2

I’ve opened #920373 against timidity to have sourcing this, commented
out, added to the stock timidity configuration (which already shows
commented-out entries for several other soundfonts).

Perhaps timidity could then default to just
        soundfont /usr/share/sounds/default.sf2
and only list commented-out entries for other soundfonts that bring
their own timidity-specific configuration that’s not identical to
the trivial one?
