Good question. I strongly advise not including any toplevel directory
of the texmf-dist/fonts/XXX into fontconfig - I have seen several bad
breakages with strange fonts making fontconfig stumble.

I advise adding those fonts you need on a case by case basis.

So in this respect, I am fine with removing the type1 line from the
example file ;-)

Best

Norbert
