I think if you don't use any of those other programs then you don't
need them, and if you install anything that needs them it'll pull them
in automatically. :) They're mostly low-level utilities. If your
system is working as-is then I don't think you'll be missing out on
anything by leaving it alone (after putting xorg-server into your
world file of course).
