I guess to some degree it depends on how you define "essential".
The definition is:"Qt Essentials define the foundation of Qt on all platforms. They are available on all supported development platforms and on the tested target platforms."
This summarizes two distinct requirements: 1) a technical requirement: the module must work on all platforms.2) a maintenance requirement: the module maintainers must ensure it will work on all platforms throughout Qt 6.x lifetime (and if it doesn't, on ANY platform, it becomes a release blocker).
QtMM may satisfy 1) (at the moment, cf. making it work on RTOS or so) but you can't argue with the maintainer about 2).
On the other hand: "addon" does not mean "deprecated" or "unsupported" or any of the sorts. Qt3D, QtDbus, QtWebEngine, QtImageFormats and many others are "addon" modules and they are fully supported.
