Some addons like bigwigs are needed since they assist with showing timings of boss abilities but that is as far as I go, I ve been on guilds though that demand a number of addons, one that shows a tab with instructions the RL writes on, one that could show specific numbers on certain mobs, one that the "elite loot council" vote on who gets loot so they can take away your loot if it can be traded and you arent a priority player, some even ask for one that does ridiculous screams and sounds if an ability is casted which I always avoided since it caused more problems than actually helped. And for many guilds those are mandatory, so you either have them or you are gone.

And the fact that blizzard is too lazy to implement UI and other forms of customization so you are gonna need an addon to move around your bars, an addon for a better minimap, an addon for bags, an addon for menus, an addon on for certain event indicators and more and more and more.

It definitely gets tiring the amount of addons you need these days
