I think so, though see fc-list output below.

I customized the 'default' face to medium Inconsolata, and commented out
my code which directly calls set-frame-font, and then I get something
which looks the same as it used to (I compared some screenshots).

Here is what I get:

% fc-list Inconsolata family weight | grep -i medium

Inconsolata,Inconsolata ExpandedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata UltraExpandedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata CondensedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata UltraCondensedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata SemiCondensedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata ExtraExpandedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata Medium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata ExtraCondensedMedium:weight=100
Inconsolata,Inconsolata SemiExpandedMedium:weight=100

I'm attaching the un-grepped output so you can see the other numerical
weights.
