Are you sure that you would miss any of them? From the lists on the
bugs posted by Holger here, it seems like most of it are small
specialised tools used for specific needs. If you don't know that you
explicitly use them, you probably don't.
The proposed meta package for the to-be-removed fonts is a different
matter, but I don't know how much use those fonts get in practice,
might be worth following that bug for info.
