I think it would be good, since it would affect only elements on webpage that have no font-family defined in CSS.
That's not true; our font preferences define the user's preference for the CSS generic families 'serif' and 'sans-serif', and then choose which one is the default. So if we have a different default font, that implies having a different value for either 'serif' or 'sans-serif', which means that either Web pages that specify: font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; or: font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; will display differently, assuming you don't have Helvetica, Arial, Times New Roman, and Times.
