I'm not an active contributor so my opinion doesn't count for much, but here it is anyway.
Though I like the idea of implementing TCC in a smaller subset of C it should be a clearly defined subset of C and preferably one that makes sense generally rather than just for a particular bootstrap path. Why not start with C89 rather than C99? Some of the examples you gave don't make the language significantly simpler, in my opinion. I don't think restricting C's expression syntax makes the compiler writer's job any easier (though some code style rules reject the comma operator anyway). If you want to simplify things ban floating-point types, structs as arguments and most of the standard header files and library functions. Also "switch" and "goto", perhaps.
