That's what I thought.

That's an argument to remove support for Uniscribe. I imagine that, if we
haven't done that, it's likely because there could be some problematic
font that would behave better with Uniscribe than Harfbuzz, isn't it?

Again, that was my understanding.
All in all, I think I would prefer to keep font-backend and filter it out
on restoring when/if necessary; but I don't have a compelling use case,
so I'll just filter it out entirely. We can always change it later if the
need arises.
I'll commit it ASAP.
Thanks,
Juanma
