The idea of the patch makes sense, but I'm surprised that what you list
below really amounts to 130MB off the DVD, given that the biggest package
is grub's 6MB. There could be dependencies that fall off, but that many?
Sorry, should've obviously included this info to start with... Here's
the entire list of packages dropped from the iso with the patch:

I didn't actually look at the package sizes here but imagining these
amounting to > 100M is hard. To add to the insult, AFAICS the thing
dragging in all this texlive font stuff is dvipdfmx, a package which is
not only obsoleted but also has broken dependencies:
Pungi:WARNING: Unresolvable dependency libkpathsea.so.4()(64bit) in
dvipdfmx.x86_64
