If you install "scheme-context" instead of the default "scheme-full",
you should get more or less exactly the same result as you'd get by

also give you Plain LuaTeX, but not pdfTeX or LaTeX, so the install size
fwiw, i'm not sure what you mean with plain luatex but context has it's
own plain luatex which is what is used when we test it (always has been so)
should be at most 10% larger. There are a couple other minor
differences, but nothing that is likely to cause any problems:
As long as one keeps in mind that it's not the official distribution
because some files are removed. So if something fails due to that one
should explicitly mention that texlive is used.
(I don't have TL installed so can't check.)
If you want just the binary (C + cmake) source, you can download it from
CTAN:
https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/context/base/archives/luametatex-20251213.src.zip
But is should anyway be possible to compile locally. It's not that hard.
Just to get the reference installation. It's not a bad exercise if one
really want to be independent or see how independent one can be.
The fonts are available in the separate (and rather poorly-named)
"texmf.zip" file
http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/texmf.zip
What is poorly named about it? It contains some public stuff. If that
should go to e.g. texmf-fonts we could as well remove texmf alltogether
and forget about it, so also notthing generic.
