Not testing all of your processes - which should discover dependencies
- is a bad idea. Not installing unneeded components is definitely a
good idea. (Also a requirement for some more stringent audits and
certifications.)

I have never encountered data pump export being dependent on the JVM.
The only export oddity I've run into is TTS exports pre-11.2.0.3 will
fail of xmldb is not installed - but this is not a dependency it's a
bug. There's a workaround (exclude=xmlschema) and patches available
to fix it. Dependencies should be documented as such; if you find a
"dependency" which is not documented then you should be opening a bug
against it so that it will either get acknowledged as an explicit
dependency and documented, or it will get fixed. That sort of thing
is a very obvious bug report since it's so easily reproducible.
