In my (humble) opinion the best way to solve this thinking forward, is to upgrade to freetype 2.8.1, plasma 5.11 and adjust font queries in kdeglobals and trolltecht.conf without weight specific strings as described in this bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63792 It's also nice to see that trolltech is working on it!
