It's frustrating, having to choose between adoption-impairing excessive
resource usage, or adoption-impairing usability issues raised by the
setup complexity of the workaround (custom font config file).
I may be able to help with the workaround, writing a script to set that
up. But I'm finding that there are so many different shared hosting
configs, each with their own precious special needs, that making a
single installation script for all of them is non-trivial.

Wow. Even worse than I'd thought.
LC Server is such a wonderful tool, I feel it could provide a great way
to introduce other devs to chunk expressions and more. But after that
experience on a popular shared host that couldn't handle LC's resource
usage, I began to feel dismayed by the prospects.
If we can't find a solution in the engine, at least we have a workaround
with a custom font config file. But it's so many extra steps to set that
up it rather kills the joy of LC's simplicity.
I forgot to mention libgraphite, which is loaded by default by libharfbuzz.
FWIW, the following 242 font files are checked (open file, read a few
bytes from start of file, close file) on my linux system for each server
transaction. This in spite of my executing a simple "hello world" script
that uses NO fonts:
