That would be sufficient, yes. But you will also need to change your .xinitrc file, and ensure dbus is started, as described in the README.

By the way, what is the best minimalistic window manager?
Please keep Gnome as your target for now. If you stray from your journey's destination you are likely never to arrive at the end.

There is no answer to your question, as there is only "what's best for you" == there are many, many choices and you must experiment with them to find the one (or two, or three) that you find meets your needs.

XFCE4?
This is not a minimal window manager. It was once intended to be a lightweight integrated desktop environment, but over the years has grown to be similar in size, scope, and complexity to KDE or Gnome.
