Personally, I'm not aware of a proper open-source substitute for MS UI Gothic.

Some fonts claim to be, but it falls to the metrics - the Google/Adobe font may
have the glyph coverage, but that particular Microsoft font had a certain
quirk: while most CJK were fixed double-width, double-width space (U+3000) was
significantly narrower.

Besides that, it is indeed a bit awkward that for many CJK apps an explicit
Fonts/Substitutes entry is necessary, but that's how system font links
currently are implemented.
