For your own environment, sure - you only need the one you use.  

These utilities are tools that made their way into lots of user's toolboxes.

I get quite frustrated when I find a system missing basic utilities like 
traceroute, iostat, vmstat, telnet..

Configuration management fixes this in my own environment.  It's unfortunate 
distro maintainers have decided to 
drop some of these basic utilities from the default server install package 
selections.
