It is not required for system to be functional, but it also leaves a significant gap in the VM to be fully operational unless Tools are installed. I listed out a bunch of functionality that depends on open-vm-tools in my other response. If there are strong use cases that don't require that functionality then probably it makes sense to not be part of core, otherwise, I think it makes more sense to make open-vm-tools part of @core because sooner or later users will end up installing these due to one or the other use case.
