Most font controls in apps (including Kobo) I've seen only have one font option. This is just a "nice to have".
It doesn't sound like Neoreader's that great, which is a pity but as you both say, there are other apps.

I mostly read on Alreader X, which has this option. You can customize the fonts for everything. I use different heading and body fonts.

I suppose the main part of the Home Screen showing "books" will open in whatever your preferred reader app is.

That doesn't open Neoreader - it opens the library view. Within it, if you long press any file you can set the default app for that file type.
Other reading apps integrate quite nicely. A version of Alreader X is being used as the default epub reader in Onyx's Russian software and it's available for the international models on 4pda.ru (
https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=945616 - it's the Eink version). It integrates as a system app.
Koreader, fbreader and coolreader also integrate in the way that you can control the e-ink refresh rate from within the app. Maybe also the frontlight using gestures (I never use this functionality, so I'm unsure).
