Unless I hear something that would indicate it will be too crippled

You should of course put those USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use
instead of setting them in the command-line, otherwise they won't be
remembered.
But I would go with the defaults anyway. There is no reason at all
why you should not install 194 packages.
Only that this is a smallish install with only 32gb of disk space.
You would be surprised how little space most packages actually consume
once installed :-) For example, my desktop has a full KDE install
(*with* semantic-desktop), lots of extra packages for developing,
graphics editing, audio editing, four different browsers with all their
deps, etc. It's a multilib system with lots of 32-bit compatibility
deps. In total, that's 1381 installed packages. Total space consumed
is 8GB.
So I'd say try to install it. If it turns out it takes too much space,
it's very easy to get rid of all those deps again:
emerge -aC dev-vcs/git
emerge -a --depclean
