As a side note, if your goal is "to maintain a minimal system
installation", perhaps what you might want is to be able to configure
dnf to simply *never* install weak (Recommends) or very weak (Suggests)
dependencies. IIRC, this is configurable on SUSE - you can set this as
permanent package manager configuration. I'm not sure if it is in DNF,
but if not, perhaps it could be?
There is:
--setopt=install_weak_deps=False
