There are few affected components that have a hard dependency on cron
binary being in place and in general from my pov no package should ever
*expect* anything to be available since I personally think doing so is a
bad workflow but other might disagree in that regard.
And I'd be very careful before qualifying any cron job as 'non essential".
A lot of them are maintenance jobs you can get by without *some* time, but
that will cause behaviour degradation or even failures in the long run if
not run at all.
