Share a PDF, too?
After uploading a score, the rendering on the website is suboptimal as the used (Free, but not FreeSerif) font is not available.
Fonts can be embedded into PDFs (given a licence for that, which a Free font always offers) but apparently not into MSCZ files…
Can I upload the PDF I rendered locally with MuseScore as well as the score itself, so people can choose either?

I don't think that's possible; however, people who wish to download your score from the MuseScore server have the option of downloading it as an .mscz file or in PDF, XML, Midi, or MP3 format.
In practise, most people who use the MuseScore site realise that what they see and hear there is not what the actual score looks or sounds like in the composer's computer. There are a number of compromises made to enable playback with scrolling notation without generating a huge file that will eat up bandwidth like a hungry teenager. If people want to see a 'clean' copy of the score, they will download it as an .mscz file, and then use MuseScore in their own computer to generate a PDF.

OK, if that is commonly understood I’m good with that.
Uploading a separate PDF file is not possible. As for which fonts exactly are supported, see https://musescore.com/help/upload#4929

I extremely doubt MuseScore has bought the licence for even one of the listed fonts. I tried to get a price quote for Verdana, for my employer, and we decided to use a Free font instead.
I don’t have one of these fonts at all, and I don’t like FreeSerif either, so I’ll keep using Gentium. That’s sorta my personal CI/CD font, anyway.

MuseScore.com's PFD's would (most probably?) not embed these fonts, so no need to have bought a license, but rather rely on them being available on all supported platforms

I believe you don’t know what platforms are all supported ;-)
Those nōn-free fonts don’t exist on my Linux desktop at work, for example.
But okay, I get the point.

As Jojo correctly guessed, the fonts that are supported by MuseScore.com come along with the Linux distribution used.

I do know which platforms are supported, but I don't know which fonts are part of them ;-)
Linux in special, as that comes in a million flavours
