Well, if you're going for minimalism you probably want -initrd
but no actual root filesystem disk image. You can have as
complicated a userspace as you like with a no-initrd config,
you just need to have enough compiled into the kernel for it
to boot and mount the rootfs... (You can even have modules
if you like, though I tend to disable that kernel option too
for dev boards.)
