Wow - plenty to look at there.  I don't think I've ever clicked on the
that help button before.

After a quick skim through, I reckon all I'd personally be interested in
for my headless pCP would be:

mixer volume 100
mixer volume +2.5
mixer volume -2.5
mixer muting
play
stop
power (is there any benefit to using the direct command versus the
simulated button press?)

The volup and voldown buttons currently on VOL+ and VOL- use an
increment of 2.5 (the 0-100 internal scale mapped onto the player's
displayed scale of 0-40), but if the mixer volume command was used
instead it might offer the possibility of having different increments,
e.g. +/-5 so that the buttons respond more quickly.

I'm not sure that the stop command would add anything (is a paused
player any different from a stopped player?), but it might be useful in
some cases.

Personally I might configure my 6 buttons as:
SW1) 'power' (or 'button', 'power')
SW2) 'button', 'next'
SW3) 'mixer volume +2.5', with 'mixer volume 100' on the long press
SW4) 'pause', (maybe with 'stop' on the long press).  'pause' with no
parameter is a toggle, so it acts as a pause/play button
SW5) 'mixer volume -2.5', with 'mixer muting' on the long press. 'mixer
muting' is a toggle, so long press to mute, another long press to unmute
SW6) 'button','prev', with 'play' on the long press (i.e. short press to
play the previous track, long press to restart the current track)
