I don't see why tracker or any such daemon should ever be a required package, or that one should not be able to uninstall it without taking much of Gnome with it.

I have no problems with it being used in the default gnome-shell setup,

Tracker provides both a store process (holding the actual DB) and a shared library for applications with APIs to access and modify the database. gnome-documents depends on the library, which of course is written under the assumption that the daemon is available. Of course you can always uninstall tracker, but that will remove core parts of the GNOME desktop as well (at least gnome-documents).
