Some of them can be removed, others not so much.
For the ones that can be removed they should not cause much issue, but some may restrict certain featurws when removed such as Music which will render the quick playback control in Control Center unusable.
From the ones you mention, they should not cause any issues.
Removing Wallet will prevent you from using Apple pay anywhere including websites and within apps. But if you don't use Apple Pay at all, it should not be a problem for you.
