If your site runs on AWS, it should run on AWS, not on AWS + Google Fonts + React CDN + Github + ...

But actually, there's nothing wrong with adding dependencies, granted that you correctly do your risk assessment. Are those developers assessing their risks and making an informed decision to add them?

I agree on that, I just don't see fonts as critical for your site, provided that you have a fallback. But I see how hosting the fonts is pretty easy to do and you avoid one point of failure for the user experience.
