Taken from #901 (comment)

An ideal compromise for current realization would be the equation of б-oval with x-height, but in non-bold styles only (maybe from light to regular).

This method is used in PT Mono and IBM Plex Mono which contain a high-quality realization of the Cyrillic alphabet's peculiarity.
Regular vs Bold:

Similar method is also used in such monospace fonts as Courier New (Monotype), Courier (Paratype), FF OCR-F (FontFont), Letter Gothic.

Workaround with undervalued б-oval height should be preserved for bold styles for readability, but it should be removed from regular-like styles, since this letter begins to stand out from rest Cyrillic alphabet.
