Depends on a lot of factors, but in most cases it would be a net win
anyway unless you have a really fast SSD combined with low memory and
slow CPU (that would be a strange combination).

You've got the dependencies wrong: openssl is Base, so libssl3 has to be
as well. It is already a dependency, but the old category based install
method required that the transitive Base items were also marked. I've
not changed the libssl1.1 dependencies retroactively yet.
The same story with libreadline7, which is used by bash.
So no matter what the categorization of those two libraries they will
be part of the base install.
