Hi,
Not an expert, just a casual Urdu speaker with a drive by contribution. I don't write Urdu much these days but I can read it.

I have no idea if Noto Sans Arabic or Noto Naskh Arabic is qualified for Urdu and Punjabi. Even though they have minimal coverage in fontconfig perspective, there might be minor differences which look strange for native speakers like punctuation marks in CJK etc.
I looked through the Urdu bits using https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Naskh+Arabic and things generally look okay. All the letters used in Urdu (~40, which is more than ~30 used in Arabic) seem to be present. The text is legible and readable. I tried a few punctuation marks and they are getting rendered in a way I can read it.
If we are going to change, we need feedback then. For the last resort, I could take them over temporarily though, we definitely need some help from Urdu/Punjabi communities.
I am not part of these communities, maybe I should join?
