rpcbind is not running by default.
If it is running for you, then because:
- somebody did start it
- another services did required it
- you run into a systemd bug, which is meanwhile fixed.

cups: cupsd needs to be run for browsing capatibilites.

That's exactly what we are doing.
On a SLES12 full installation, I have running:
systemd
network setup (wicked,...)
avahi-daemon (that is really useless, but I think GNOME needs it :( )
polkitd
dbus
power management
cupsd
cron
postfix
gdm/GNOME

That's not much.
