...and go back to when every site was set in Times New Roman? Compressed web fonts don't add much to page weight when used responsibly, cached fonts from Google CDN even less so. I think that's a fair tradeoff for a great leap forward in design opportunities.

I assume by "design opportunities" you mean a way for some designer to get paid.

Not Times New Roman but maybe the system font? Has the advantage that your website looks more "native" on many mobile devices.
