There are a few other things in profiles/features/hardened that you
should copy -- particularly the gcc USE flags -- but basically, you're
right. These days the hardened profiles don't add much. The main thing
they "add" is the lack of unnecessary features enabled by default in a
desktop profile.
It's a tedious process, but turning on the features you need one at a
time in package.use will eventually result in a smaller attack surface
than enabling them all at once in the desktop profile's make.defaults.
Of course you could do that the other way around, too, starting from a
desktop profile and disabling them one at a time.
