Sure. You'd need to fine-tooth both the Makefile and your config,
thinking hard about every feature and the relation to your security
posture.

I can't really advise on specifics. For example, just supporting
TLS is a massive increase in compiled code and therefore attack surface.
Personally I prefer to have it available, but YMMV.
