first-setup --modules=all
the minimals installer remembers what gets installed and when updating
modules will be installed as well
if someone only wants luatex the initial install should say
--engine=luatex (more minimal, might become default at some point)
the only problem with tikz can be that it depends on some built in
functionality (i remember a recent post about such a dependency) but
normally the tikz maintainers are quite willing to take care of it;
another potential issue can be low level resource management but if the
proper interfaces are used this should work now
