I don't think that *not* removing something that was installed as a dependency will break a system.

I suppose for the purposes of the OP I'd investigate the dnf.conf parameter

       clean_requirements_on_remove
              boolean

              Remove  dependencies that are no longer used during dnf remove. A
              package   only   qualifies   for   removal   via   clean_require‐
              ments_on_remove  if  it  was  installed  through  DNF  but not on
              explicit user request, i.e. it was pulled in as a dependency. The
              default   is  True.   (installonlypkgs  are  never  automatically
              removed.)
