I helped many people finding out proper dependencies and just 1-5 iterations were mostly needed to find a complete dependency set. Just to be clear here, we are talking about BuildRequires of packages, not end-user TeX compilation here. If end-user utilization is needed then feel free to use texlive-collection* or texlive-scheme*. Another least overhead option is to just install: texlive-scheme-full and you needn't to care about any deps at all.
