Yeah, that is exactly what I am doing.

I just didn't know where is default face stored and how to modify it
before gui is created. Daniel pointed me out to it; but I am a little
bit proud of finding the face-new-frame-defaults on my own :-).

I was too lazy to refactor my old setup, but it was starting to go high
in startup time ~2secs from 1.2 so I finally decided to see if I can speed
it up with early init. This is what I have: 

;;; early-init.el ---                                -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

(setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum)

(setq frame-inhibit-implied-resize t)

(push '(menu-bar-lines . 0) default-frame-alist)
(push '(tool-bar-lines . 0) default-frame-alist)
(push '(vertical-scroll-bars) default-frame-alist)
(push '(font . "Anonymous Pro-16") default-frame-alist)
(custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:height 140)))))

;;; early-init.el ends here

Seems to work nice. (gc threshold is restored in later in setup)
