XP_WIN + XP_MACOSX + XP_LINUX covers everything Tier1 atm. What's left are Darwin/X11, BSDs, Solaris using Gtk and iOS, the support for which is going to bitrot over time the farther they stray away from any of Tier1 platform.
On said platforms, are they using our Fontconfig platform font list that is bound up with our GTK support? If so, then they are supported, and it's just a matter of flipping the pref. The only case that does not currently work is if using the gfxFT2FontList (currently only Android that I know of) does not have NativeFontResource implemented for it yet, so only that wouldn't work.

If said platforms are GTK then basically all we have to do is change this line:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/modules/libpref/init/all.js?q=all.js%3A1112&redirect_type=direct#1112

Currently it is predicated on XP_LINUX, but that could thus be changed to MOZ_WIDGET_GTK, and we'd thus be done.

Bug 1332411 - Enable print_via_parent for Tier3 platforms.

We don't implement print_via_parent for all platforms yet, so we can't just blindly remove all the checking for setting the pref default. Correct way to do this for now would probably be checking for MOZ_WIDGET_GTK as suggested.

Do you mean "monospace", "serif", "sans-serif" ? I don't think Firefox supports Gtk *without* fontconfig.

Android defines XP_LINUX, so I'm not sure what you mean here.

Then that would be an unfortunate accident. Since it does not actually work at all on Android, and by virtue of the fact we don't enable E10s there yet we avoided catastrophe for now.
