Yes, but you can still do that with C-x 8 RET, right? The C-x 8 e
commands use transient menus, and (as you described in the bug report)
don't quite work when a suitable emoji font is not available.
In theory, another option would be to display, in these transient menus,
emoji names instead of emoji characters when no emoji font is available,
but there is not enough room for list of names such as "SMILING FACE WITH
SMILING EYES AND HAND COVERING MOUTH" (which fit better in *Completions*).
