For me, the most essentials are definitely:
Immich (Photo backup), Vaultwarden (FOSS Biwarden server for passwords)
Gamevault: To share Games with my friend’s especially modded games. Jellyfin: Sharring Movies/Series/Music Immich: Saving my Pictures Pi-Hole + Unbound: Ad-blocking
Gamevault is cool, but I wish they weren’t windows-only on the client side. Lutris integration would be excellent.
I have a dedicated vm for things that are crucial to the home network, either latency-critical or network related.
That’d be my dns resolver (I enforce it over VLANs by hijacking anyone trying to do DNS to other resolvers, like random IoT devices), homebridge for less important home automaton and my own matter controller for most important home automaton (controlling the lights).
My router of choice is RouterOS in another VM. I tried opnsense, pfsense, vyatta, and a bunch of others (even a containerized Cisco route), and I settled on ROS, because it was the only one who could do IPv6 properly (apart from Cisco, but that has other issues).
For the less important things I run them on k8s and really, there are only two bits worth mentioning as essential: ArgoCD and nixhelm. Together, they provide effortless and mostly automated software updates with very easy rollbacks. I don’t have to go and manually update every single bit of software and that saves huge amounts of time.
Omada software controller handles my wireless access points. HomeBridge lets me control various things from my iPhone, without having to use 5 poorly-made apps.
Depends on the situation of course, but for us:
Docker
TCP/IP
Sorry, this is an AppleTalk household.

Adguard home
and Wireguard pointed at AdGuard for DNS
Set the mobile app to enable WireGuard connection when not on home network and then you have AdGuard everywhere
I’ve pointed my domain to my wireguard tunnel VPS IP, same result. I can just set my private DNS in settings pointing to my AdGuard domain

Essentials? Difficult to decide, it depends on why you are even selfhosting in the first place.
At a first glance and looking at my attempt at a homelab:
