how private are RSS feeds?

There's a difference: Websites have JS and requests to CDNs. RSS feeds don't.
Why do you think an RSS feed can't sit on a CDN?

What I meant were CDNs such as Google's providing common resources like fonts or JS libraries.

Also, by using RSS you skip all visual garbage and more tracking that you might have to exposed.
PS: I dislike Google Fonts. It is the most insidious way that Google can track people as they are used everywhere and in almost all sites and even by some FOSS applications.

Have you heard of Local CDN? It provides at least some common things.

On, I have and have used it. Thank you.
But as far as the host server that you hit is comcerned, whether you block the fonts via uBlock or do not fulfill the server request via Local CDN, they will still use it to profile you, because you tag yourself in the minority of users in the world that do not hit the Google font servers. And Google knows this.
Since even most adblock users still do not block fonts or other assets like this.
Albeit I do as I use uBlock on Medium mode, including fonts. And I dropped using Local CND as to minimise my extensions footprint.The main gain would be for the site's aesthetics as you host some assets locally, but from a privacy perspective, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Albeit you are damned a little bit less if you do. LOL
