LXDE tries to be loosely-coupled and standards-compliant so, whether or not it provides an application, you should be free to use whichever you prefer.
For example, back when I was on Gentoo, I chose to use Audacious Media Player rather than LXmusic... then I discovered that the Lubuntu maintainers agreed with my decision and offered it in their default loadout. I think Pidgin IS basically the recommended multi-network IM solution for LXDE. I know I've never seen anyone else bundle anything different. As for Evolution, I use Thunderbird but, unless the devs really dropped the ball and somehow require GNOME 3 to not only be installed, but to be running now, there shouldn't be any problem using it.
