Unlike build-essential, curl, etc., those aren't optional.

I think you can make a meaningful distinction between "must have" and "cannot help but have". There's little reason to recommend the latter.

If you want to get pedantic, you need to have a kernel, but not those specific packages.

Fair enough. Then, I guess, they are in fact "must have" in the sense that in most cases they are a better alternative to managing your kernels manually.
