And the reason probably is that the font is defined as sans serif [ss]?

Found it (I think)

\definefontfamily defines tf= but the text says \rm

If I use \tf in the text it works.
If I use \rm in the text it works for default Latin Modern but not for any font defined. This is true regardless of using rm= or tf= in the definition.

So, it seems to be the combination of using definefontfamily and \rm

After erasing the font cache and regenerating LM was doing it right again.

Helvetica did not, but maybe I made a mistake in

\definefontfamily
  [helvetica]
  [ss]
  [Helvetica]
  [tf=style:Regular,
   bf=style:Bold,
   it=style:Oblique,
   bi=style:Bold Oblique]

Does it work when you remove the manual assignments to tf, it, etc. or when you use lowercase names (without spaces), e.g. "bi=boldoblique" (or "bi=bolditalic").

No and no. With th elatter it doesn't load Helvetica at all, Error shown:
selectfont      > the requested font 'Helvetica' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 4 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf, lmsans10-regular.otf

With my original it does load (but no italic):
mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 4 files: helvetica.ttc, latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf


Erase cache, regenerate formats, reload fonts (force) does give another (probably unrelated) error:
