Hi Jon,
This series addresses your concerns related to CJK fonts that are needed for translations.pdf.
It touches only the documentation build system, not the docs themselves.
It ended to be bigger than I originally foreseen, as I found several issues when running "make pdfdocs" for the distros that are recognized by the scripts/sphinx-pre-install script.
It also took a lot of time, as I tested it with several VMs (each one updated to latest packages):
- Fedora 30, CentOS 7, Mageia 7, ArchLinux, Ubuntu 18.04, Gentoo, OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
Patch 1 addresses an issue that could be related to the fact that I don't use openSUSE. Basically, I was unable to find the right package for texlive to use CJK fonts on openSUSE. [1]. So, the first patch on this series adds a workaround: if the needed CJK font is not found on a system, conf.py won't use xeCjk extension. That sounds a good thing to have, as other distros may not package it, or maybe the one building the doc is not that interested on translations.pdf file;
[1] I actually found some, but they are not recognized with the font name conf.py is expecting ("Noto Sans CJK SC"). Perhaps SUSE uses a different name for those fonts?
Patch 2 fixes the logic with recognizes CentOS/RHEL;
Patch 3 is another workaround: CentOS 7 (and similar distros) don't package all texlive packages we need. So, it just ignores PDF when recommending packages on such distros, and point to a URL with explains how to install TexLive outside distro-specific package management (for the brave enough people);
Patch 4 fixes latexmk dependency on a few distros;
Patch 5 suppreses a Gentoo specific instruction if the user already followed in the past;
Patch 6 is the one that actually does what you requested.
Patch 7 solves an issue when SPHINXDIRS is used with make pdfdocs: right now, using it will produce a lot of warnings and won't do anything, if a dir-specific conf.py file is not found. With the patch, latex_documents are now properly updated when SPHINXDIRS is used.
Patch 8 is a cleanup: with patch 7 applied, we don't need to have anymore any conf.py file due to pdfdocs.
With regard to the load_config.py extension, It keeps accepting custom configuration. That's helpful if someone wants, for example, to have something like:
Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py
with would enable extra nitpick options if one wants that.

Jon,
Please let me know if you prefer if I submit those together with the big pile of doc files I have, or if you prefer adding (some of?) them on your tree after the merge window.
Regards, Mauro
