You can also subset a couple of weights and come in under 60kB, which is what most sites should be doing. (Obviously not applicable for multilingual sites and esp East Asian ones)
Edit: also, fonts are by default loaded conditionally by browsers.
That’s one of the reasons you typically use a preload to speed things up: otherwise the browser will wait for the first paint following CSSOM construction to know which font faces are used on the page, and thus what to download.
In other words, specifying the 200 @font-face’s possible on a site actually poses no issues - only those fonts actually used will be downloaded.
