You could just save time by reading the official ePub specifications which do actually detail which things are mandatory and which things are optional in terms of reader device/software support for a fully-compliant ePub file.

Now, if you just want to see how much of the mandatory stuff you can get away with leaving out before whatever error-correction exists in various readers starts to choke on not having them there, that's a different matter.

ETA: If you really want to make a truly minimal ePub, start from scratch because adapting other people's templates means you end up with whatever features they decided to use, which you may or may not consider totally superfluous to your own book.
