As long it is possible to start dbus and udev afterwards once I need
something that is not working otherwise, I do not see a problem.

I do not need to mount anything via nfs and if I have to, I have no
problem by starting some service first or making it persistent if I need
it always. The same holds true for bluetooth. Also it is a lot easier to
once start all the necessary services or enabling them than finding all
services that need to be disabled. It is a lot easier to identify
missing services and unwanted extra services. There could even be a
command that suggest to start all the services that are more or less
always useful like udev, cpufreq, irqbalance or rsyslog.
