Can you clarify what "all kinds of problems" you foresee?
Sure: People find a font that isn’t a truly functional, Unicode-
conformant font for script X and…
- They try using it, find it doesn’t display text as expected, and
conclude that Unicode doesn’t work for their script
Wasn't this, in fact, one of the scenarios (considering rendering
engines as well as fonts) that led some people to conclude that Unicode
"didn't work" for Tamil, and to lobby for years for a glyph-based
encoding?
