On that front, the last I tried it still didn't support changing the
display font, and the font specified on the command line was only
used for latin1; everything else fell back to Sans-12. It also had
problems keeping each buffer's text within said buffer's borders.

Fontconfig (and therefore both Xft and cairo) supports any font
freetype supports, including bdf, pcf{,.gz} and other bitmap formats.
So, even when using client-side fonts you'll be able to use the bitmap
fonts you currently do.
In addition, it is highly unlikely that Emacs itself will abandon
support for server-side fonts. Cross-platform support is just too
inherent in its design principles.
