I think it is a bad idea. As I said several times previously, 65-nonlatin.conf is not for specific languages. It only provides sufficient font fallback (to prevent fontconfig randomly picking up low quality fonts) for rendering CJK char under a non-CJK specific environment (such as en_US, fr etc).

For CJK-specific configs, they should go to the 65-language-ja.conf or 65-language-zh.conf file as in my "65-nonlatin test suite".

What we need is a BETTER 65-nonlatin, removing from conf.d or adding lang tag miss the point completely.
