I would need to add: striking tools (hammers and such), scraper plane or cabinet scraper, screwdrivers and turn screws. A broom and dust pan to pick up my mess.

Having been involved in parts of this where the tools being motorized allowed for me/anyone to make more parts, faster, and with quite a bit less wear and tear on a body. So I would HAVE to add from more than the beer/meat powered tools. I have them in all of the above categories, plus quite a few others. Blended woodworkers burn calories, and electrons.
Retired, and just tinkering, for lack of a better word, do I need them, Hail no. Would I give them up before the date of the final sale, again Hail no. :-)

I’m not qualified to speak on this, but I’d think your basic tool kit would depend heavily on what your primary area of interest is. A wood carver would need different tools than a furniture maker, etc.

May you have the day you deserve!
I am of the mind that just a few basic hand tools and a good workbench are all you need to begin making things in wood.

I'm far from a minimalist. But I am an advocate of using what is on hand, at least to start. You have to determine what you "need" based on "you". How you work, what your skill set is (yes you have a skill set, even if you don't know it yet) and what your projects are. Your list is a good starting point. You have to start somewhere!

Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. - OldTools Archive -
