There are only a few font-family (monospace, serif, sans, …), it's perfectly fine to add one or more specific font-face (e.g., Courier, Helvetica, Helv, Consolas, Lucida Console, …) if you know exactly what you're doing for at least one platform (Linux, Mac, Windows, …). The font-family is the last resort if none of the font-face are available, it's guaranteed to exist, but might be not what you want for, say, the latest and greatest emoji as of 2017 on a Windows 7 as shipped 2009.
