I would say for a "Fedora Home" edition the only application I would remove would be boxee and virtualization altogether
That is worth considering. I think we want to continue promoting Boxes as our recommended virtualization solution regardless, but it's an open question whether it ought to be part of the default experience.
and replace it with a password manager if Gnome has one.
I reported https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/231 to discuss this a while back. It's a tricky question. I think it'd be good to promote our own password manager, but nowadays users seem to prefer services that offer sync between multiple devices.
I would say it's better to give them something rather then nothing.
Component wise anything related to enterprise user management and login, enterprise storage local and remote including clients.
kerberos, sssd, etc. seem to mostly stay out of the way, and it's nice to have them working for users who need them, right? Also: kerberos is exposed via Online Accounts in System Settings. I think of these like VPN plugins: most users will never use them, but they're small and don't hurt anything and to the extent they're integrated into System Settings, having them installed by default is good.
Arguably the problem is not that they are installed but enabled and started when they are not being used which negatively affects the overall experience and I personally am more inline with not installing anything unless it's actually going to be used by the end users.
Basically Gnome would be shipped bare bone with nothing more than icons which trigger install ( flatpak ) of the application when the end users plans on use it for the first time.( at that point the end user is indicating that he wants to use that application ).
